2.1 Useful Expert Evidence - the Evolution of Rule and Practice
Presented by the CBA's National Civil Litigation Section
Monday, August 13, 2012
2:00 PM - 3:25 PM
Expert evidence in civil litigation has been an area of much growth in recent years both in focus and expense. Yet many judges express concern that battles of highly partisan experts do little to assist them in deciding cases. Experienced panelists will consider how experts can play a useful role in civil litigation, how rule changes in various jurisdictions have affected the role of experts, and what counsel can do in practice to make their expert evidence more effective.
- Presenters:
- The Honourable Mr. Justice Christopher Hinkson, British Columbia Court of Appeal (Vancouver)
Kevin Feehan, Q.C., Fraser Milner Casgrain (Edmonton)
David Sterns, Sotos LLP (Toronto)
Charles Willms, Fasken Martineau DuMoulin (Vancouver)
