An expert witness
An expert witness is a person with specialised knowledge in a particular field who can be called upon to present their opinion on the facts during legal proceedings.
Occasionally, designers and regulators can have differences of opinion when it comes to the most appropriate drainage solution or contaminated land remediation technique. This can lead to delays in approvals and other significant problems throughout a project, which in extreme circumstances can end up in court.
