Key legal question
Whether the MEDAS report could be relied on despite alleged lack of independence and fairness concerns
Extracted holding
The use of MEDAS reports is not per se incompatible with a fair trial, but procedural safeguards must be strengthened.
Extracted reasoning
The court found systemic risks in the medical assessment system, yet held that these could be offset by enhanced participation rights, a dispositive order for the expert examination, and court expertise where needed.
