Family court judge describes Dr Dewi Evans report as 'worthless'

In an unrelated family court matter, a judge describes an expert report by Dr Dewi Evans — the Crown's lead causation expert in the Letby trial — as 'worthless'. The comment is first picked up by Private Eye and subsequently by other media. It is referenced in the April 2025 Bar Council letter and in the October 2025 supplementary CCRC submissions materials as going to the reliability of the methodology Dr Evans applied in the Letby case.
