Description
The purpose of this session is to explore practical ways to enhance the cost-effectiveness of expert evidence without compromising analytical rigour or the expert’s assistance to the tribunal. As you know, concerns about the escalating cost of arbitration are increasingly centred on expert involvement. This panel will offer a constructive discussion, bringing together arbitrators, counsel and experts to consider procedural tools that drive efficiency while preserving quality.
