Preparing Witness Statements: Traps, Dos & Don’ts and Rule Compliance

Speaker:

• Mark Sullivan, Barrister at 3PB Barristers

This webinar will be APIL Accredited. 

This practical webinar will provide a clear guide to the essential requirements for preparing witness statements under the Civil Procedure Rules, including the potential consequences of failing to comply.

It will explore how the rules apply in more challenging situations, including statements from illiterate witnesses, witnesses whose first language is not English, and witnesses who are located in a foreign jurisdiction.

The webinar will also provide practical guidance on drafting effective witness statements, focusing on appropriate content and language, as well as the importance of critical questioning to ensure that the evidence is accurate, relevant and properly prepared.

Using examples of both good and bad practice, the session will highlight common pitfalls and provide practical techniques to help practitioners prepare witness statements that meet procedural requirements and effectively support their client’s case.
