facilitating discussions to produce a report that assists the parties and the Court
Increasingly the Courts are requiring parties are arrange for experts with a specialised knowledge on an issue to confer and produce a joint report that identifies their areas of agreement and narrow the issues in dispute. Done well, the reports assist the just, quick and effective disposal of proceedings and reduce the need for experts to attend Court to give evidence. Done poorly they can be a waste of time and money.
