This seminar is designed to be a practical guide to
preparing and presenting evidence at the Environment Court and
how to conduct one’s self under cross-examination. It
will include commentary on practices designed to assist the
Court to determine technical issues where experts offer
conflicting opinions.
This will include the fairly standard practice of requiring
technical witnesses to produce an agreed set of facts and/or
joint statements of evidence, the growing practice for
technical witnesses to be heard sequentially and a possible new
practice of hearing all the witnesses (in a particular area of
expertise) together in the witness box.
