Podcast Episode 7: Review of 2024

bySean Mosby

 

In the last podcast for 2024, we look back at the ten key issues for expert witnesses that we've seen over the course of 2024.

We discuss:

  1. The continual importance of knowing your duties and making sure you are using the latest declarations

  2. Handling conflicts of interest

  3. Being respectful of everyone's roles

  4. Attacks on your credibility

  5. Inclusion of a range of opinion

  6. Considering all the available evidence

  7. Fundamental Dishonesty

  8. Re-evaluating your opinion

  9. Duties of the Single Joint Expert

  10. Increasing importance of Alternative Dispute Resolution

We also make our predictions for the 10 things to look out for in 2025. 

You can listen to Episode 7 of the Expert Matters Podcast on a number of podcast apps, including spotify and apple podcasts. If you can't find the podcast on your favourite app, let us know at expertmatters@ewi.org.uk.
