Nick McAndrew - Conflicts in witness evidence: how does the court decide?

The outcome of a litigation will often depend on how the court decides upon a disputed factual issue. This talk considers the ‘he said, she said’ scenario, and the tools available to a judge when deciding who to believe. A firm understanding of these tools assists in: (i) the effective investigation and preparation of a case; and (ii) advising with greater clarity on the prospects of success.

There will be reference to the principles relating to credibility and reliability of witness evidence, how they have been applied in recent Scottish cases, and suggested guidance on case preparation with the principles in mind.

The talk will last 30 minutes, including a Q&A session.
