The GGF now has trained Expert Witnesses for assistance in legal disputes should the report need to be used in legal proceedings, and if a Technical officer is required to give evidence.

The Technical officers are trained by Bond Solon Law School through Cardiff University and are aware of the requirements of Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) Part 35 and Practice Direction 35, and the Guidance for the Instruction of Experts in Civil Claims 2014.

Reports can be CPR Part 35 compliant if requested.
