The Law of Expert Evidence in Ireland
Mark Tottenham
The Law of Expert Evidence in Ireland is the second edition of the leading Irish textbook on the subject. It addresses the rules and practice concerning expert witnesses in Ireland, as well as the duties of the various court participants to avoid the inherent dangers of expert evidence.
The Second Edition incorporates recent case law from Ireland and other common law jurisdictions and explains the role of the expert witness throughout the litigation process, from pre-trial instructions and report writing to giving evidence in court. The work examines the law and practice of expert evidence in Ireland across civil and criminal proceedings, family law, tribunals, and arbitration.

It offers practical guidance on all aspects of expert witness engagement, including the instruction of experts, investigations, report writing, consultations, expert meetings, oral evidence, and fees. Combining authoritative legal analysis with practical guidance, the book is an indispensable resource for lawyers, judges, arbitrators, tribunal members, and expert witnesses.
