In determining a case of professional negligence, the court or tribunal may need credible expert evidence on the issues of liability and the quantum of the loss.
Opinion
In cases of professional negligence, involving for example accountants, an opinion may be required on the standard of care exercised by an individual or firm, as well as advice on causation and quantum. In cases of solicitors' professional negligence and the consequential effects of negligence by other professionals, such as medical practitioners, surveyors, architects or engineers, an opinion may be required on the quantum of loss likely to have flowed from the alleged negligent act.
Liability
Where there are complex liability issues, the expert opinion of a specialist experienced in the field is vital. An expert report speaking with authority on the liability issue can be of great value in bringing about an early settlement. At the same time, such specialists need to be able to rely on the knowledge and experience of a skilled forensic team to ensure that the reports meet the needs of the instructing party.
