Family cases need to be decided fairly and if an
expert is proferred as a witness to give
expert opinion evidence it is the Judge's role to act as a gatekeeper to ensure only
proper family law
expert evidence is admitted into the record.
I accepted Mr. Tweet as an
expert in the area of roofing based on his 19 years of experience in that field, and allowed him to provide
opinion evidence with respect to
proper or common roofing techniques and practices.
