Giving evidence in court
We provide expert structural testimony in court, supported by CPR-compliant reports and thorough on-site assessments. Our Chartered Engineers offer clear, professional evidence to assist solicitors, clients and judges in understanding complex structural issues.
Giving evidence in court
We will be happy to accompany you and your solicitor to mediation and to court, (regardless of the location of the court in question), to stand in the witness box and provide expert testimony in a litigation case where the defendant is accused of structural negligence. It is normal in this case for this work to be preceded by a site survey where applicable, followed by a CPR-compliant report, which we will prepare and issue prior to the court case. We may also provide, as part of the hearing, the relevant NHBC guidelines and British Standards.
Joint Expert Witness
In cases where we are asked to provide expert witness in litigation cases, your solicitor has a choice of how much involvement we are to have in the case. We can either be a “Single” expert witness (engaged by you, the client), or a “Single Joint” expert witness, (we will represent both you and the builder). In our experience, courts normally prefer “Single Joint” witnesses but we are happy to act as either. Please contact us, or ask your solicitor to contact us, to discuss your case and quote for acting as a Joint Expert Witness.
