  • Abstract:
    This paper examines the role of expert evidence and expert witnesses in the resolution of construction disputes. The history of experts in court is traced through the cases, including guidelines as to the proper conduct of experts. The status and potential liability of an expert is then considered, particularly in the context of the recent Court of Appeal in Meadow v. General Medical Council [2007] 1 All ER 1. The role of an expert as advocate is considered and conclusions drawn as to the key problems which arise.
