INTRODUCTION
The complex and technical nature of certain types of arbitration
makes testimony of expert witnesses indispensable. This need
sufficiently arises especially in construction arbitrations, which
are factually intensive and technically complicated. In a
construction arbitration, issues such as delay in completion/
execution of the project, disruptions and obstacles in the
execution of project, land acquisition, right of way, damages,
changes in scope of work, variations, defects costs, negligence,
additional works etc. may arise. These issues require a perspective
and analysis of an expert and not a lay man. In a world, where the
disputes pertaining to construction / infrastructure are arising
every day, the need for a smooth functioning and regulation of
expert witnesses is now, more than ever.
