The complex nature of engineering construction means that, sometimes, matters will go wrong, and the contracting parties will fall into dispute.

When disputes arise, it will often be necessary to call upon the services of independent ‘expert witnesses’ to advise the parties and the courts.

In this talk, Peter Caillard explores the role, duties, qualifications of, and expectations upon an expert witness. By way of examples he considers how they operate, how things can go well, and how, occasionally, they can go badly wrong.
