THE JOINT MEETING OF EXPERTS AND THE JOINTLY INSTRUCTED EXPERT: WEBINAR 29th JULY 2024
I was a more than a little shocked to read the judgment in Glover & Anor v Fluid Structural Engineers & Technical Designers Ltd & Ors [2024] EWHC 1257 it is a case that shows that lawyers are still making fundamental mistakes in their dealing with experts at the joint meeting stage. This is is one of several recent cases that consider issues relating to the joint meeting of experts and the instruction of joint experts. These issues are considered in detail in a webinar on the 29th July 2024 – aptly called The joint meeting of experts and the jointly instructed expert. Booking details are available here.
