Litigation & Expert Witness Reports
Independent valuation opinions for notaries, attorneys and the Seychelles courts, built to withstand cross-examination.
Litigation places different demands on a valuation report than a routine sale or finance instruction. The evidence, method and reasoning must be set out clearly enough for opposing counsel to test, and the valuer must be able to defend the opinion under cross-examination. Forctis has expert witness experience in Seychelles, South Africa, Europe and elsewhere in Africa.
We act in estate and succession disputes, matrimonial property division, boundary disputes, and compulsory acquisition compensation matters, instructed by notaries or attorneys on either side of a matter or jointly by agreement.
Every litigation report states its instructions, assumptions, basis of value and evidence relied upon in full, and we are available to give evidence where a matter requires it.
Common questions about litigation & expert witness reports.
Can you act as a joint expert for both parties in Seychelles?
Yes, we regularly act as a single joint expert appointed by agreement, which can reduce cost and speed up resolution compared with each side instructing its own valuer.
