Paul Sills and Construction Expert Witnesses - Part 1 of 3

Construction Experts - Paul and Guy discuss different tribunals and different types of expert. How do they all work and relate to each other?  What’s a ‘Part 35’ Expert and why do we have them? Should this be the standard for all expert work? Can an advisor be an expert? The pair take a look at the importance of an expert ’sticking to their lane’ and being open to independent thought and impartiality. The importance of clarity, candour and lucidity in an expert report are also crucial and something Paul and Guy examine. Also - why are joint expert meetings and procedures like hot tubbing helpful to the process? Why are the best experts those who are able to concede to a mistake and accept new ideas?  And what makes a really good expert?
