Synopsis
Expert witnesses should provide independent assistance to the Court or Tribunal by way of objective unbiased opinion. The selection of and evidence from an expert witness is often crucial to the outcome of a case and cannot be underestimated. Judges and arbitrators rely on the factual evidence given by experts, in areas they may not always be familiar with.
Leigh-Ann will provide the counsel’s and arbitrator’s perspectives and consider:
• The role of an independent expert
• Selection of experts and factors to consider
• Approach to and content of good expert reports
• ‘Joint’ expert evidence
• Effective oral expert evidence at the hearing
• What not to do!
Justice Chan Seng Onn will provide the judge’s perspective and consider:
• What judges generally expect of expert witnesses
• What is helpful and what is not helpful in a trial
• Who is a good expert witness
• Some examples from previous cases of good and bad experts
