See first hand experts pojnt of view!
The 2014 decision in Moore v. Getahun continues to generate significant discussion among litigators about the way in which lawyers communicate with experts. In Moore, Madame Justice Janet Wilson adopted a strict interpretation of Rule 53.03 (Expert Witnesses) of the Rules of Civil Procedure and disqualified a defence expert in light of communications with counsel.
Our panel will explore how to retain and manage experts and how to best work with an expert before and during trial. Gain practical guidance on when and how to instruct, commuicate with and direct experts throughout the course of a litigation file. Join this in-depth discussion to obtain critical updates on acceptable practice standards of expert-witness evidence in Ontario.
