Description
In association with the Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC) and Deloitte, the Advocacy Training Committee is organising an advanced-level advocacy training course on the handling of financial expert evidence.
This course will feature:
(1) senior and experienced trainers from Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Africa, and the United Kingdom;
(2) local judges and practitioners; and
(3) accountants as expert witnesses.
This course will cover the following:
(1) The handling of expert evidence from the perspective of judges and senior practitioners;
(2) An introduction to financial statements, and the issues and terminology involved;
(3) The consideration and evaluation of two expert reports by financial experts;
(4) Practical and useful guidance on how to handle financial experts and expert reports in arbitration and in court;
(5) The handling of consultations with experts; and
(6) Reviews of the performance of participants in examination-in-chief and cross-examination of financial experts regarding their reports.
This year, the course will be conducted in an arbitration setting using the facilities of the AIAC. The guidance provided would be equally applicable to handling expert witnesses in court.
The course is recommended for Members of the Bar who wish to refine their knowledge and skills in handling expert evidence, particularly those with at least five years of experience. Prior completion of the basic advocacy training course conducted by the Advocacy Training Committee is recommended, but not essential
