Expert Witness Services
Occasionally, problems arise within projects which require the courts to step in to resolve.
However, within the technical fields of geotechnics and contaminated land, the courts base their opinion on the information provided by witnesses, on trust and in confidence that it is itself based on in-depth knowledge and understanding and not biased, incomplete or misleading.
It is therefore imperative to the outcome of a case, that the process, the parties involved and ultimately the court itself, be supported by reliable and experienced professional advice. Under Civil Procedure Rules an expert witness must be independent and present their expert report to the court.
Here at Edlington Consulting, we offer expert witness services for a wide range of ground related matters.
