- Summary
-
The defendant argued that the claimant's expert was too highly qualified in his specialist field to comment properly on the defendant's performance as a general building service engineer. The court found that both sides' experts were from the same profession, and the claimant's expert's greater expertise in a specialist field could not disqualify him as an expert witness.
