Expert advice and evidence can be crucial to the outcome of many civil disputes. Specialist opinion about technical or scientific matters is used to aid comprehension of the finer details and interpretation of the facts, whether in the early stages at experts' meetings or in court itself.
The skills required to produce a well-written expert's report and to perform competently in the witness box can be taught; this book exists for that purpose.
This third edition also addresses important developments and changes relevant to the practice of expert witnesses, including the requirement for experts to attend meetings, recent cases and their effect on criminal practice, the impact of the new Criminal Procedure Rules, and the debate as to whether experts should be immune from further action regarding the evidence they give in court.
Chapters:
Expert evidence in context; The role of the expert; Writing reports; The expert witness at meetings; The expert in court; Payment of experts' fees.
Appendices & Glossary of legal terms.
