Advice notes are provided to members of the Expert Witness Institute in support of their work. They represent the Institute’s view of good practice in a particular area, and members are not obliged to follow them. They do not constitute legal or professional advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for it. Whilst care has been taken to ensure that they are accurate, up to date, and useful, The Expert Witness Institute will not accept any legal liability in relation to them. If specific advice or information is required, then a suitably qualified professional should be consulted.

Competition Appeal Tribunal Practice Direction on Expert Evidence

bySean Mosby

 

The Competition Appeal Tribunal has published a Practice Direction on expert evidence. The Practice Direction sets out the principles applicable to expert evidence in the Tribunal, including general principles applicable to the evidence of any expert, as well as certain specific principles applicable to economic evidence. 

While not bound by the Civil Procedure Rules, the Tribunal also notes that it will take into account and will generally apply (in so far as relevant) the principles set out int CPR PD 35. 

Experts who act in cases before the Competition Appeal Tribunal should ensure that they are familiar with the new Practice Direction and be aware that the Tribunal will also generally apply the rquirements set out in CPR PD35. Links to the Tribunal's Rules, Practice Directions and Guidance can be found below and in the EWI Knowledge Hub
