Set against the (fictional) backdrop of sausages, social media, and a very festive homicide, this session goes beyond theatre—demonstrating how expert evidence can be dismantled when professionals stray beyond their scope.
• Appellate rulings on expert evidence
• How to remain within your area of expertise under pressure
• The danger of accepting flawed assumptions from instructing parties
• What barristers look for when challenging an expert’s credibility
• Why thorough briefing and clear scoping are critical to expert independence
