Key legal question
Whether the MEDAS-style expert report could be relied on despite the fair-trial objection and alleged bias.
Extracted holding
The report remained usable; no disqualifying bias was shown, and the old procurement method did not invalidate it per se.
Extracted reasoning
The Court held that the new case law on fair procedure does not automatically strip pre-existing expert reports of probative value. The mere fact that an earlier expert had once worked for the institute does not objectively create bias.
