Question juridique clé
Whether the applicant showed a protectable interest for preliminary evidence under Art. 158(1)(b) CPC
Solution extraite
No. The applicant did not demonstrate, in a non-arbitrary way, that a further expert report was necessary to assess prospects, given existing SUVA and IV medical findings usable as external expert evidence.
Motifs extraits
Preliminary evidence requires a concrete substantive claim and evidence capable of proving it. A further report is unnecessary when usable expert evidence from other proceedings already exists; the applicant did not show why those findings could not be used or that the experts were biased.
