always maintain that our most successful cases are the ones where the opposition settles the dispute (sometimes on the steps of the Court House) to avoid the costs and stress of going to Court. APA's team of experts will prepare a Civil Procedures Compliant report (CPR) setting out your position. This report is a fundamental element of your case and will assist your legal team in giving the proper and correct legal advice.
Litigation is not for the faint-hearted, it is an extremely costly and stressful process that should be avoided at every opportunity. However, when all other mediums (ADR) have been explored and failed, then going to Court with the best team possible is fundamental to ensuring a positive judgment is obtained. View some of the notable cases that APA Property have worked on throughout the years.
APA can assist you from the receipt of the claim up to and through to the hearing.
The Court may request a Single Joint Expert (SJE) or allow each party to appoint their own expert. However, the overriding duty of an expert is to assist the court and that duty overrides any obligation to the party that has engaged the expert. 1.
2. The compilation of the report must satisfy the provisions of part 35 of the civil procedure rules specifically Rule 35.3 and 35.5. 3.
An expert’s duty is to provide an impartial report which truly reflects the expert’s own independent opinion and conclusions without influence by any party directly or indirectly connected with this dispute.
objectives, generally an expert is instructed to represent one of the parties or if agreed between the parties and/or ordered by the Court can accept a joint instruction as a single joint expert ‘SJE’.
Before accepting an appointment, the expert must be able to demonstrate that there is no conflict of interest with any of the parties, and indeed if there is any concern must disclose this to all the parties.
The Expert will be required to produce a CPR Part 35 compliant report setting out their statement of truth to the contents of the report.
Dr Antino has considerable experience as an Expert Witness. However, Dr Antino considers that his most successful cases are those that do not proceed to Court because the parties are able to resolve the dispute following receipt of his CPR report and without incurring considerable litigation costs.
Litigation is not for the faint-hearted, it is extremely stressful, costly and time-consuming, therefore engaging an Expert at an early stage of the dispute is fundamentally important to understanding the strengths and weakness of both your position and the other parties.
