Expert report

An expert report is a report by an independent specialist, giving answers to questions posed by a judge, arbitrator or one of the parties. In the latter case this will give the parties an idea of how an external expert assesses their conflict before they take legal action. There is a distinction between an expert engaged by one of the parties and an independent expert appointed by both parties or the court or the arbitration board. At SGOA an independent expert is always called upon. In accordance with the SGOA rules for expert reports we only provide expert reports on the orders of the parties involved. We will act as an intermediary in finding an expert at the request of the courts, arbitrators or parties involved.
