‘Hot Tubbing’ of Experts - A Guide to Good Practice

Introduction

Following a number of recommendations made by the Civil Justice Council Report on 'Concurrent Expert Evidence' or 'hot tubbing', as it is also known, amendments to Practice Direction 35.11 of the CPR have now been in force for some time.
