According to the "Danny Nightingale legal fund appeal" web-site his defence, including expert witnesses and medical reports had cost nearly £300,000 by 1 Aug 2013; the "public" had also donated more than £15,000. So, it may seem that the family acknowledge that their expert witnesses were paid to give the evidence they gave (that's not unusual of course).
It also seems, from the web-site, that they are planning to hold a fundraising ball on October 19, so presumably they expect this case to drag on until some time after that.
Does the phrase "lawyers/expert witnesses/medics gravy train" come to mind?
I wonder if Danny's legal advisor is working pro bono.
Of course if the web-site is spurious then disregard all the above.
