Review of an expert report in litigation

When a report can be challenged and which questions to raise before the court.

A review should contain specific comments on source data, methods, examination process and conclusions rather than general criticism.

What to consider

  • The questions are compared with the answers actually given.
  • Checks establish whether all materials provided were examined.
  • Contradictions between the descriptive section and conclusions are identified.
  • The verifiability of calculations and intermediate results is assessed.

Practical steps

  1. Provide the complete report, including annexes.
  2. Attach the court order and materials supplied to the expert.
  3. Explain the significance of the conclusions for your position.

Why a preliminary assessment matters

A legal position depends on documents, deadlines, the parties' conduct and the chosen remedy. General advice does not replace analysis of a particular situation. Before sending a pre-action claim, signing an agreement or going to court, assess the consequences of the proposed action.

This material is for information purposes. The scope and method of legal assistance are determined after document review.
