WHAT IS AN EXPERT WITNESS?

An expert witness is someone who has the experience, training, qualifications and knowledge to give evidence in court. The evidence given by the expert witness is to be reliable and factual.

WHEN ARE RICS EXPERT WITNESSES NEEDED?

RICS expert witnesses are needed when the dispute needs to be taken further, and the parties need to go to court after all mediation methods have been attempted.

WHAT DOES AN RICS EXPERT WITNESS SURVEYOR DO?

Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors can act as expert witnesses during the court process, bringing reliable and factual evidence for both parties in the dispute. You must put the court before the disputing parties to ensure it gets resolved relatively.

TYPES OF CASES

  • If your property has been damaged due to work that has been done to your neighbour's property
  • If you are in a rented property and fail to maintain it to the specified standards
  • If your property has been misrepresented during the sale

Why would I need an RICS expert witness?

If you or your business have disputes over commercial property and cannot solve them alone, it's essential to get professional advice from an expert witness. Such professional advice may include surveying, valuations or boundary disputes. They can give evidence by writing expert witness reports if they feel you should pursue litigation. If you would prefer not to take legal action, there are many ways an expert witness can help resolve your building works dispute without having to go through the high court process.

Mediation

Mediation is a process primarily based on communication and negotiation. A third party, who isn't primarily involved in the dispute, tries to find a resolution by using their expertise to reach a fair, required conclusion.

Arbitration

Arbitration is all about the agreement between both parties involved in the dispute. The parties must agree to submit a dispute to the arbitrators, who will then make an unbiased decision without going through the court.

Adjudication

Adjudication is a legal process involving evidence and argument. A judge will review both parties' arguments and decide based on their legal rights.

Single Joint Expert

The court may assign a single joint expert (SJE) in some cases. The SJE will create a report for the court to use on behalf of the two disputing parties. If the parties still disagree, you will appoint an expert witness.
