'The paramount duty of an expert witness is to the Court or Tribunal'.
Welcome to the website of R.A Chapman Consulting Automotive Engineer.
The Expert Witness must be able to effectively communicate evidence impartially and dispassionately. Expert witnesses are listened to carefully; lay witnesses are listened to with skepticism. It can be a serious disadvantage to enter into litigation without an Independent Expert Witness Report or not to have that Expert available in Court or Tribunal to be cross examined. Engaging the correct Expert Witness can be as important as engaging the correct Lawyer.
