Description
It was held that the necessity of expert evidence in the instant case could not be determined without seeing an expert report. However, the expert's evidence would at least arguably assist the court and the necessity of that evidence would have to be determined at a later time. In the context of a case that had as much as £100 million at issue, the prospect of the parties incurring £1 million in expenses relating to the expert evidence was an insufficient reason not to allow the evidence to be adduced.
