EVENT: Conclaves & Hot Tubbing: Success or Failure - An Overview

Description

The use of expert evidence in modern litigation is more prevalent than ever. For this reason, the use of expert conclaves (or joint meetings of experts) and ‘hot tubbing’ (by which experts give their evidence concurrently) by Australian courts is becoming common place.

Do conclaves and ‘hot tubbing’ provide a more effective way of expert evidence being given? On the one hand, these methods can enable experts to concentrate on the ‘real issues’ between them and accordingly, can assist in clarifying and narrowing the issues in dispute. However, they can also go horribly wrong, particularly as there has been limited judicial guidance as to the manner in which they should be conducted.

Please join our panellists for an insightful discussion on the pros and cons of expert conclaves and ‘hot tubbing’.
