The majority of this work has been on the Multi-Track and has involved significant consideration of expert evidence of an engineering and medical nature. He has been involved in a number of trials where matters have been defended on all issues and has led to him cross-examining expert witnesses. In NIHL cases, Gareth has increasingly been instructed to deal with matters which have raised the issue de minimis injury and has become very familiar with the academic and medical literature which has discussed the aspects of material and noticeable hearing loss.
