Experts can give evidence that is then considered factual rather than expert evidence within CPR 35. In this week’s NLJ, Dr Chris Pamplin, editor of the UK Register of Expert Witnesses, explores the fine line between evidence of fact and expert opinion.
Dr Pamplin writes: ‘In general, where either party wishes to rely on evidence that refers to or contains expert opinions, any original reports should comply with CPR 35.’
He covers a range of civil and criminal caselaw where expert evidence has crossed, or almost but not quite crossed, this line.RELATED ARTICLES
