New EWI Guidance on Responding to Written Questions

by Sean Mosby

 

In many proceedings, after the exchange of expert reports, the parties will have the opportunity to put written questions to the opposing expert for the purpose of clarifying their report. This is an important part of providing expert evidence - it is a chance to restate your opinion and to clarify anything that might not have been fully understood in your report. It might even lead you to reevaluate your opinion if there is something raised in the written questions that you had not considered or were not aware of. 

We have just published our new Guide on Responding to Written Questions. Informed by the knowledge and experience of the EWI Editorial and Training Committee, our comprehensive guide is useful for both new and experienced experts and covers the following key topics:

  • Rules and Regulations

  • Common pitfalls to watch out for

  • Tips for responding to written questions

  • Training

Why not start by listening to our Expert Matters Podcast on Responding to Written Questions then read through the Guide here.
