Abstract
The suitability of an unregistered expert psychologist to give evidence to the Family Court was considered in Re C [2023] EWHC 345 (Fam). An important part of the judgment focused on the need for an expert witness to demonstrate, in a short, concise and relevant CV, why they have the expertise to give opinion evidence in the case. The judgment has important implications for experts in civil litigation, where the same issues arise. The case of Re C is reviewed and recommendations for a new format for part of expert reports provided in civil litigation are discussed.
在 Re C [2023] EWHC 345 (Fam) 案中，对未注册的心理专家是否适合在家事法庭作证进行了审议。判决的一个重要部分集中在专家证人需要用简短、精炼和相关的简历证明他们为何具备在案件中提供意见证据的专业知识。该判决对民事诉讼中出现相同问题的专家具有重要影响。本文回顾了 Re C 案，并讨论了为民事诉讼中提供的部分专家报告制定新格式的建议。
