Challenge to evidence of expert witness rejected
In Blackpool Borough Council v Volkerfitzpatrick Ltd [2020] EWHC 387 (TCC), Judge Stephen Davies dismissed the defendant’s
application for an order that the claimant should not be permitted to rely upon the expert evidence of two witnesses on the
ground that the experts had by their conduct demonstrated that they were not independent and that the claim of the claimant
should be struck out.
