In 2016, the reform of the Quebec Code of Civil Procedure invited judges and lawyers to prioritize joint expert reports. The present study offers an overview of the use of joint expert reports five years later. To do so, judges, lawyers and experts were invited to share their opinions and experiences and to propose solutions that would make the civil justice system more accessible. The article explores the advantages and disadvantages of joint expert reports as proposed by the participants and identifies the reasons why joint reports remain the exception rather than the norm despite the legislator’s intent in 2016.
