Instruction of Expert Evidence in Financial Remedy Proceedings - Guidance & Pitfalls to Avoid

Introduction

This webinar will be useful for those who seek a better understanding of the advice to be provided to clients who are dissatisfied with the SJE report - which is a common problem in practice.

This webinar will help you have a better understanding of the potential merits and pitfalls of your client's application for an independent expert. You will receive practical advice on what steps you can take or advise the client to take in the first instance, before embarking on a potentially expensive court application, which will have cost consequences.

An update in case law and guidance on what steps you can advise your client to take when they are dissatisfied with the SJE report will also be discussed.
