Abstract
To many people, the term ‘Expert Witness’ conjures up a picture of a serious‐faced, profound, middle‐aged man with bushy eyebrows and spectacles or presumably, in this age of sex equality, it could perhaps be a smart young female, equally well versed in the problems of some specialist topic. Whoever he or she is or what they look like, is entirely secondary to the main consideration. The person is one who has knowledge that will help with the case under review. A building or structural surveyor may feel flattered at being referred to as an Expert Witness but this is really only a legal term for a witness on technical or professional matters. This article sets out to comment on the various attributes that are necessary and the many points that are important, even if somewhat obvious, in the way the person sets about his or her task.
