The Expert Witness Declaration is a critical document required in legal proceedings within England and Wales when expert testimony is needed. It establishes the expert's credentials, independence, and understanding of their obligations under CPR Part 35. This declaration must be provided alongside expert reports and is essential for ensuring the admissibility of expert evidence in court. The document serves to validate the expert's qualifications, confirm their understanding of their duty to the court above any duty to their client, and declare any potential conflicts of interest.
