Module 3 Witness Statements & Expert Reports
Preparation of documents for witnesses and experts 1 Parties agree that documents should be provided to witnesses and experts in electronic form only if possible. 2 Where documents are provided in an electronic bundle, they should, where possible, be made available in a format which can be electronically highlighted and annotated. Meetings with witnesses and experts 3 Parties agree to consider conducting witness proofing remotely, where it is not possible to meet in person, in an environmentally conscious manner. 4 Meetings with experts, and between experts, should be held remotely where practicable. Where not practicable, meetings should be arranged in an environmentally conscious manner. 5 Expert joint meetings should be held remotely, where it is not possible to meet in person, in an environmentally conscious manner. 6 Parties agree to provide an easily accessible electronic bundle of documents for any experts or witnesses. Where the bundle for a particular meeting is made available in a single document, the party preparing the bundle should endeavour to bookmark/tab the bundle to allow the user to navigate it easily and minimise the temptation to print documents. Travel and accommodation 7 In exceptional cases where travelling is necessary, parties will endeavour to travel in as environmentally-friendly a manner as possible (for example, using hybrid or electric vehicles where possible) and use their best endeavours to offset any carbon emissions associated with air travel.
