[Note. Expert medical evidence may be required to determine fitness to plead under section 4 of the Criminal Procedure (Insanity) Act 1964(11).

Those Acts contain requirements about the qualification of medical experts.]

(2) This duty overrides any obligation to the person from whom he receives instructions or by whom he is paid.

(a)give details of the expert’s qualifications, relevant experience and accreditation;

Declarations of truth in witness statements are required by section 9 of the Criminal Justice Act 1967(15) and section 5B of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980(16). A party who accepts another party’s expert’s conclusions may admit them as facts under section 10 of the Criminal Justice Act 1967(17).

33.6. A party may not introduce expert evidence without the court’s permission if the expert has not complied with a direction under rule 33.5.

At a pre-trial hearing a court may make binding rulings about the admissibility of evidence and about questions of law under section 7 of the Criminal Justice Act 1987(19); sections 31 and 40 of the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996(20); and section 45 of the Courts Act 2003(21).]
33.7.—(1) Where more than one defendant wants to introduce expert evidence on an issue at trial, the court may direct that the evidence on that issue is to be given by one expert only.

(3) The court may give directions about—
(a)the payment of the expert’s fees and expenses; and
(b)any examination, measurement, test or experiment which the expert wishes to carry out.

(d)give the name and date of birth of any witness whose evidence about the complainant’s sexual behaviour the defendant wants to introduce.
36.4. The defendant must serve the application on the court officer and all other parties.
36.5. A party who wants to make representations about an application under rule 36.2 must—
(a)do so in writing not more than 14 days after receiving it; and
(b)serve those representations on the court officer and all other parties.

[Note.

An application for a special measures direction may be made by a party under Part 29 or the court may make a direction on its own initiative.

36.7. The court may shorten or extend (even after it has expired) a time limit under this Part.”
(This note is not part of the Order)
These Rules add the following new provisions to the Criminal Procedure Rules 2005 (“the Rules”):
A new Part 33 (expert evidence), in substitution for the existing Part 33, which sets out the duty of an expert to the court and the content of an expert’s report. It allows the court to direct that defence evidence will be given by a single joint expert.
A new Part 36 (evidence about a complainant’s sexual behaviour), in substitution for the existing Part 36, which revises and simplifies the rules about applications under section 41 of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999.
A new rule 2.1 (when the Rules apply) explains when the new expert evidence rules in Part 33 will apply.
In addition, the following amendments are made:
Part 4 (service of documents) is extended to govern the service of a requisition issued by a public prosecutor under section 29 of the Criminal Justice Act 2003.

Rule 24.1 (requirement to disclose expert evidence) is amended to require that an expert whose findings are disclosed under the rule is made aware of that disclosure, which is relevant to the expert’s duty to the court under Part 33. The amended rule requires service on the court of a statement provided to another party under that rule.
Rule 29.8 (expert evidence in connection with special measures directions) is amended to require that an expert whose findings are disclosed under the rule is made aware of that disclosure, which is relevant to the expert’s duty to the court under Part 33. The amended rule requires service on the court of a statement provided to another party under that rule.
