EWI Guidance on Acting for Litigants in Person

by Sean Mosby

 

We have just published our Guidance for experts on acting for litigants in person. While our general advice to members is not to act for unrepresented parties, there may be exceptional cases where a member wishes to act for a litigant in person, a particularly interesting case for example. There is also the situation where any expert could find themselves acting for a litigant in person with an uncompleted instruction because the lawyers have gone of the record. In these circumstances, it is important for experts to act in accordance with their duties, be mindful of their overriding duty to the court, and meet their obligations to their client.
