An expert witness provides independent opinion evidence on matters outside the ordinary knowledge of the court. In financial matters, a forensic accounting expert is instructed to analyse records, quantify losses and give impartial opinion on the financial issues in dispute.
Key Ledgers is CPR Part 35 qualified and listed on the UK Register of Expert Witnesses. Instructions are accepted from claimant solicitors, defendant solicitors and as single joint expert appointments.
Comprehensive CPR-compliant reports covering methodology, findings and opinion. Written for the court, not the instructing party.
Attendance at meetings of experts to identify and narrow areas of agreement and disagreement.
Available to give oral evidence in the High Court, County Court and Crown Court across England and Wales.
CPR Part 35 governs the use of expert evidence in civil proceedings in England and Wales. It sets out the expert's duties to the court and the requirements for expert reports.
The expert's primary duty is to the court, overriding any obligation to the instructing party. The expert must be, and be seen to be, independent.
Expert reports must contain a statement of the expert's qualifications, the substance of instructions, and a declaration of truth and compliance.
The court may direct that experts in the same discipline meet to identify areas of agreement and disagreement, and produce a joint statement.
