Why attend?
The Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) and the new Criminal Procedure Rules (CrPR) effect all
Experts whatever their field of expertise. This is a practical course through the
minefield.The majority of the Rules do not directly
affect Experts. Most which do affect the Expert are in CPR Rule 35 and CrPR Rule 33, however, there are
others in both the CPR and CrPR which concern the Expert and his work. The Civil and Criminal Rules appear to be alike but there are substantial differences - these will be identified and
their impact discussed.
The Role of the Single Joint Expert has been introduced into the Criminal Rules but there are differences between CrPR and CPR. These will be
examined in detail so that participants on the course will have a clear understanding of
their role and the problems that SJEs are facing.
Whether you do Civil or Criminal work you need to attend
CPR Protocol
The CPR Protocol for Expertsappears not widely used by Experts although it contains much to assist them. These practical aspects will be discussed along with the 'good practice' implications for criminal work.
