[9] Expert opinion evidence is a growth industry. Fees charged exceed any standard of reasonableness and render litigation cost prohibitive. The amounts identified in the plaintiff’s bill of costs are excessive. I suspect the defendant’s incurred expense to be likewise. However, in the absence of any meaningful standards for opinion evidence, particularly by the College of Physicians and Surgeons, I am not prepared to penalize the plaintiff by reducing her claim for the expense she incurred.
