The latest from Your Witness Issue 72: In this issue we start a two-part series on the role of the expert witness in Scotland. The adversarial system used in
Scottish courts is not dissimilar to that employed in the courts of England and Wales but there are differences that
an expert should know about. We also look at access to expert reports by parties who are not party to the litigation
for which the report was prepared. Finally, we report on the latest moves by the Ministry of Justice to cut the amount
it spends on expert witnesses.
Expert fees and litigants in person
With the anticipated growth in the number of litigants in person, what should an expert witness be thinking about when it comes to fees? (from eWire Issue 77, May, 2013)
CPR Part 35 introduces 'hot tubbing'
Changes to the CPR Practice Direction accompanying Part 35 introduce measures proposed by Lord Justice Jackson to allow expert witnesses to give concurrent evidence (from eWire Issue 76, March, 2013)
FPR Part 25 reworked
Changes to the Family Procedure Rules Part 25 introduce measures proposed by the Family Justice Review designed to reduce delay in the family justice system, in part through minimising the use of expert witnesses (from eWire Issue 76, March, 2013)
Death by a thousand cuts
Having already cut expert witness fees from legal aid funds by 10% from arbitrarily low 'benchmark' levels, the MoJ now seeks a further cut of 20% (from eWire Issue 77, May, 2013)
CPR Part 35 introduces cost estimates
Changes to the CPR introduce measures proposed by Lord Justice Jackson
in his review of Costs in Civil Proceedings (from eWire Issue 76, March, 2013)
Experts instructed by litigants in person
With the anticipated growth in the number of litigants in person, what difference does a litigant in person make to the instruction of an expert witness? (from eWire Issue 77, May, 2013)
