Dear Sirs,
Re: Disputed Cause of Action
The outstanding issue of our dispute concerning the above appears to be explain dispute.
As we cannot reach agreement over the causes/ consequences of the failure, there is no
alternative but to instruct an independent expert for a professional opinion. I am advised
that the civil justice rules now require that the expert be a single joint expert, and that
the duty of the expert is to the court.
I propose name expert, who is qualified in field of expertise eg. Glazing,
surveying,and holds him/herself out as an expert in this field. *I enclose a copy of
the literature relating to this expert/organisation for your information.
* (delete if not applicable).
If you have any objections to this expert, please inform me within fourteen days with
your reasons for objecting. If I do not hear from you, I will instruct the expert to
proceed. I do, of course, invite you to submit to me any written instructions you wish
to have given to this expert, which I will pass through on your behalf. Should you wish
to be present at any examination which may take place, please let me know.
The cost of the report is £....... This cost will be added to any claim I may
make against you, but I invite you to share the cost equally at this stage.
Yours faithfully,
Sign and print your name here.
This is only a sample letter to give you guidance on what to write. You will need
to substitute your own details at the appropriate places (shown in bold). Remember
to keep a copy of your letter. Send it recorded delivery. Don't forget to sign it.
