Expert report review and QA provides quality assurance on draft expert reports before tribunal exchange. Review covers Practice Direction 2024 compliance, Adam Pipe October 2025 structure, source quality, independence, and tribunal readiness.
Solicitors may instruct QA review where reports are prepared in-house, from overseas experts, or where tribunal scrutiny of expert independence is anticipated.
Review identifies gaps in source citation, assumptions, limitations, and areas where the report may read as advocacy rather than independent expert analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I request expert report QA review?
Before tribunal exchange when you need confidence the report meets Practice Direction 2024, Adam Pipe 2025, and Ikarian Reefer independence standards — especially for late or externally prepared reports.
Does QA review replace instructing a qualified expert?
No. QA review assesses an existing draft report for compliance and quality. It does not replace independent expert evidence from a qualified country, persecution, or human rights expert.
