Expert Witness Snapshot
Experience as an expert witness in many areas as a practising Chartered
Accountant.
Work done includes personal injury reports including dependency
calculations, matrimonial disputes involving business assets and
financing settlement, professional negligence claims, commercial
disputes, contractual disputes, and licensing matters.
Accredited mediator and Arbitrator. The accountant mediator is particularly useful in resolving disputes which
require a commercial rather than a legal view and this is frequently
seen in partnership disputes and medical negligence cases.
I received my first instructions over forty years ago and have appeared
in court on many occasions. I have acted both for the claimant,
respondent and SJE.
I lecture on aspects of accountants acting as expert witnesses
particularly with reference to matrimonial and personal injury cases and
court appearance and more recently on aspect of money laundering and the
Proceeds of Crime Act. Former Chairman of the UK 200 Forensic Accounting
and Litigation Support Panel.
