In litigation, it is sometimes necessary to obtain reports from expert witnesses and, in such cases, it is often importnant to make sure the expert witness is available to give evidence when the case is heard in court. The danger is that if an expert is not present to be cross-examined, the evidence they present may be regarded as of diminished value by the court.
