Brevity is the soul of wit…and also a legal requirement for expert reports on the intermediate track for civil claims. But will 20 pages be enough, asks Mark Solon, chairman, Wilmington Legal & founder, Bond Solon, in an article in this week’s NLJ?

Or will experts try to cut corners and come a cropper, with obvious repercussions for the solicitor who instructed them and the client?

Solon writes: ‘Keeping to the point may not be as easy as it seems.’ He offers advice to solicitors instructing experts for claims in the 20-page-maximum intermediate track. He offers tips for both selecting experts and instructing them on the task at hand.
