When challenges arise, professional guidance from experts can help address non-compliance through alternative solutions and ensure designs meet the required standards.
Expert witnesses assist the Court by providing independent and impartial opinions on complex issues, with their primary duty being to the Court. Effective engagement of expert witnesses involves selecting the right expert, briefing them clearly with a detailed Letter of Instruction (LOI), adhering to the Expert Witness Code of Conduct, and preparing thoroughly for court, including site inspections and expert conclaves if necessary.
