British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Tabah v Bress, 2018 BCSC 185 (CanLII):
However, it is an exception to allow the cost of multiple experts within the same specialty without an accompanying satisfactory explanation which demonstrates they were proper or necessary in all the circumstances. Otherwise, multiple reports from like experts will be viewed as an extravagance or the result of excessive zeal. See Phelan v. Newcombe, supra.
