This chapter provides practical assistance to experts who may be required to give evidence in court. It explores the development of law and rules that apply in several jurisdictions. In particular, the legal principles are examined in the context of an Australian jurisdiction which is at the forefront of the relatively new practice in this area - concurrent expert evidence. Important elements are the reliability of expert opinion, the source of knowledge, training and experience, as well as procedural aspects. It is prepared as at October 2016.
