Can You Use An Experts’ Joint Statement Prepared For The Purposes Of Mediation During Subsequent Legal Proceedings?
In the case of Aird & Aird v Prime Meridian Ltd, the dispute between the two parties was stayed to mediation. In order to assist the mediation process, the Court ordered that the parties’ architectural experts should meet on a without prejudice basis and prepare a statement of issues upon which they are agreed and not agreed. This is not uncommon. The Court Order followed the typical format of CPR 35.12. The experts duly met and a joint statement was produced.
