The Ikarian Reefer

There are many relevant judgements regarding Expert Witnesses, the majority of which are available on the EWI website, but it is widely acknowledged that the current court rules follow a judgement by Sir Peter Cresswell in National Justice Cia Naviera SA v. Prudential Assurance Co. Ltd (The Ikarian Reefer) [1993] 2 Lloyd’s Rep 68, 81- 82; [1993] F.S.R. 563; [1993] 37 E.G. 158; Times, March 5, 1993.
