What is an Expert Witness?

The role of the expert witness is to provide technical analysis and opinion which will assist the court in reaching its decision. The opinion evidence put forward by the expert witness is based on evidence of fact.

Selecting an Expert Witness that is both experienced, competent and qualified in their respective field is crucial to ensuring the evidence given is delivered based on sound knowledge, credible, and delivered with clarity.

Why is an Expert Witness required?

When expert evidence is called for in a court of law, a tribunal or arbitration, it’s time to call in the Expert Witness.

When there is no intention to place an expert’s opinion before a court, a tribunal or arbitration that person is referred to as an expert advisor and may take on a number of behind-the-scenes roles.

When in court, the expert witness methodically presents opinion evidence based on evidence of fact. The subsequent report, which the expert witness also prepares, is written within a specified timescale in compliance with specific legal guidelines.
