In an NLJ focus on expert witnesses, this week’s issue features forensic accountant Rakesh Kapila’s insightful article into the many ways experts can work together, as well as Simon Berney-Edwards advice for those instructing experts on care

Kapila, principal at Sim Kapila, offers advice for ensuring all relevant experts, who may be trained in vastly different fields, are ‘on the same page’ and aware of each other’s work in order to maximise consistency throughout the case.

Berney-Edwards, chief executive officer at the Expert Witness Institute, highlights some key lessons to learn from a recent judgment by Mr Justice Cotter in a case where a tree surgeon suffered spinal fractures and a care expert was asked to provide a report.
