Abstract
Abstract: This article examines the decision of the United Kingdom Supreme Court in Jones v. Kaney concerning arguments about the continued existence of an immunity from suit in tort enjoyed by expert witnesses in English law. It sets out the nature and role of the expert witness in the English common law before analysing the matrix of immunities that have attached to those involved in the judicial process throughout English legal history. It then examines the declining scope and protection offered by these immunities and contextualises the decision in Jones as part of this broader trend.
