Event Outline

The Court has emphasised that expert witnesses are quite apart from ordinary witnesses, and that they owe a duty to the Court. What does this duty entail, and what are the minimum standards expected of expert evidence? How can an expert take the necessary steps to ensure that their evidence is “cogent, reliable, and may be gainfully used in the proceedings for which they were prepared”? What is defence counsel’s duty in instructing an expert, and in presenting expert evidence to the Court? Critically, how can expert witnesses be effectively cross-examined?
