Efficient Arbitration, Managing the Experts

To provide for an efficient arbitration outcome, early proactive management of the expert witnesses may be a usual consideration for an arbitral tribunal including one appointed for their expertise in the subject expert issues. Much depends on the circumstances.

In this regard, looking forward to seeing the CIArb’s report and guidance in respect of its project:  Maximising the Effectiveness of Party‑Appointed Expert Witness Evidence in Arbitration, soon to be published following completion of the consultation phase.
