The ‘Expert Country Evidence in Asylum and Immigration Cases in the United Kingdom: Best Practice Guide’ provides advice on how to write effective reports that meet the expert witness’s obligations. It outlines the process of writing the report and the expert’s role, explains how to meet the expectations and requirements of the legal process in order to best assist the Court or Tribunal, lists some common dos and don’ts, discusses the structure and format of an expert report, and touches on the topics of oral evidence and fees. While designed for COI experts in the UK, we believe all would benefit.
