Expert Evidence
Expert Evidence
As I have said, A&V called Mr Judd to give evidence. Although he is a surveyor, his evidence was essentially factual rather than opinion evidence.
J&BH called Mr Geale, a Chartered Accountant. In advance of the hearing A&V had raised issues as to the form of his reports and the nature of his instructions. In the event, I found Mr Geale to be helpful and willing to consider alternative hypotheses in a manner appropriate for an independent expert witness.
