What is an Expert Witness?

What’s the difference between an expert witness and an expert advisor?
An expert witness provides an independent expert opinion in their area of specialism in accordance with the instructions they receive. These instructions are presented in the Expert Witness’s Report which is seen by the other side and the Court. The Expert Witness Report must contain all of the information required as stipulated by the Court Rules. The Court expects an expert witness to be independent and impartial and will discount the evidence if it is believed to be bias.
An expert adviser is appointed by an instructing party to assist in the development and crafting of a party’s claim or defence. They do not have an overriding duty to the court.
