• Are paid by those who appoint them

(a) Party Appointed Expert (PAE): This is the traditional type of Expert used. The PAE may assist his appointer in the preparation of the case. He will normally submit drafts of his report. He will have the benefit of conferences with counsel and meetings with the other side's expert.

(b) Single Joint Expert (SJE): The court has the ability to Order that evidence can only be given by a Single Joint Expert (SJE) The Order requires the parties to jointly appoint the SJE. He is not appointed by the Court. The expert is appointed and instructed by the parties involved in the dispute.

(c) Expert Adviser: The Expert is appointed by one of the parties to advise them in the dispute - this type of Expert is not covered by the Civil Procedure Rules and does not have an overriding duty to the court. An Expert Adviser can also be appointed to assist the parties in the preparation of their case where an SJE has been appointed.
