The primary function of the Sorting Service is to prepare medical notes for solicitors and medical experts involved in litigation. 

However, it is not uncommon for solicitors to request interim advice in regard to the merit of potential cases for litigation, especially when funded privately.  In these instances the Sorting Service provide advice from a clinical perspective, not a legal one.

Likewise, we get requests from potential claimants who are undecided whether to pursue a claim.  Queries of this kind are directed towards appropriate legal guidance.
