Corrections and addenda
These written reports are expressions of the experts’ opinions and it will be a matter for the Chairman of the Inquiry to decide what findings to make in the Phase 1 report, having heard all of the factual evidence as well as hearing from the experts in person. These expert reports are being examined by Inquiry at the oral hearings in the weeks of 19th and 26th November 2018 when the experts will give live evidence. In some respects the expert reports are provisional and will be subject to further work at Phase 2, as is made clear (where necessary) by a number of the experts in their reports. The Inquiry will be seeking to establish with each expert during their oral evidence what further work is planned by a number of the experts at Phase 2 of their work.
