Paediatric Expert Witnesses for Solicitors in Scotland
We provide independent paediatric expert witnesses to instructing solicitors in Scotland, with reports prepared with Scots law and procedure in mind. You see the expert’s CV before you instruct, and the report is written to the expert’s duty to the court. We act for either side.
A note on Scots procedure
Scotland has its own courts and rules
Scotland has its own courts and rules: the Court of Session and Sheriff Court for civil claims, Fatal Accident Inquiries in place of inquests, and the Children’s Hearings System in child protection. Limitation and procedure differ from England and Wales; your assessment of the Scottish position governs, and we match experts who can work within it.
How it works
