What is an Expert Witness?
The primary role of an expert witness is to offer an impartial, independent expert opinion based on the evidence or information at their disposal.
An expert witness will be an individual with a high level of experience and knowledge in a specific field or industry, with a much deeper understanding of that particular discipline than the average layperson.
Here at Circle Case Management, we have a hugely experienced panel of experts, available to provide witness reports covering a wide range of medical and social care issues.
What kind of Witness Expert is available?
The English and Welsh courts commonly use three different types of expert witness, which are as followed:
PAE – Party Appointed Expert
This expert witness will be requested by one party within a court dispute. They are called upon to assist on areas within their expertise by providing impartial, independent opinions. Importantly, their responsibilities supersedes that of the instructing party.
SJE – Single Joint Expert
This expert witness will be called upon by parties involved in the dispute. Again, their duty is to the court to assist on subjects within their field of expertise, and, again, their independent opinion is not influenced by the fee-paying party.
Shadow Expert – Expert Advisor
The advisor provides ongoing services to one party throughout the court proceedings. Unlike the SJE and PAE, they do not have a duty to the court and will rarely be required to provide evidence as they are not covered by the Civil Procedure Rules.
We aim to be the most trusted provider of Case Management Services, Expert Witness Reports and Mental Capacity Assessments across the UK.
