What is an Expert Witness?
An Expert Witness is a term used to describe a specialist in a particular area who can assist the Court, through their expertise, in a legal dispute. Surveyors are commonly called in as Expert Witnesses to be relied upon in civil proceedings before a wide range of tribunals.
How to prepare an expert witness report?
The Expert Witness will document their findings and compile an independent and impartial report that is based on their industry knowledge and experience. Within this report, the surveyor will be entrusted to report only facts and expert assumptions and will need to ensure all relevant details have been included.
What is an expert report used for?
Ultimately, the Court is relying on the Expert Witness to provide an in-depth and unbiased analysis that can assist them in reaching the right verdict though in many cases, this report often helps all parties to reach an agreement and settle out of court.
