01

Subject

The points address the interplay between expert evidence and inspection, and when a third expert is required where a large discrepancy appears between two expert reports, whether before the same court or between trial and appellate levels. Case number cited in the points: Distinction of Public Body Rights No. (3893-2025).

02

Summary

- A third expert is required when a substantial discrepancy exists between two expert reports before the same court or across judicial instances, to reach a fair assessment. - The sheer number of experts cannot by itself establish the absence of a large discrepancy, particularly where estimates differ markedly without justification while their bases and elements are similar. - The operative criterion for absence of a large discrepancy is the convergence (fading difference) between the last two expert reports, regardless of how many expertises were conducted. This is an educational general summary, not a judicial text and not legal advice.
