Lord Justice Leveson admitted that the prospect of speaking to a room full of expert witnesses was “daunting”:
“After all, you, expert witnesses all, are used to appearing before a judge. No judge will be used to appearing before expert witnesses, perhaps to be questioned about his or her own expertise.”
He went on:
“ I would like to focus on defining the role of an expert witness, looking at what makes a good expert witness, making a full contribution to the resolution of disputes. That requires me to define, at least from my perspective, the boundaries of what an expert witness can and should do.”
