Key legal question
Whether the expert report and the proceedings violated the appellant's right to be heard because he was not personally heard and the expert used criminal-file material.
Extracted holding
The complaint fails: the record showed the expert had in fact met the appellant, and it was permissible to consider material from the parallel criminal case.
Extracted reasoning
The appellant's version contradicted the findings of fact. The expert had also been entitled to rely on the criminal file produced in the case.
