How is a medical examiner’s opinion on cause of death in an autopsy report classified, when duly proved or admitted under the applicable procedure?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The examiner's specialised medical opinion is "Expert opinion evidence" within BSA section 39. It is not "Eyewitness evidence that the examiner saw the fatal event", it is not "Necessarily evidence contradicting another witness" since that depends on the case, and it is wrong to call it "A statement incapable of being evidence", though the classification does not make every report admissible without the required procedure.
