How far does the Court go to obtain foundational information from an expert?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Bookman v. Loeb, 2009 CanLII 33528 (ON SC):
Lederer J faced the same interpretive challenge in Babakar v. Brown [7], that is to say, how far the right to obtain foundational information extends. He noted that it has been established that it is improper to allow questions that set out to contradict, or confirm, the findings of experts. Such questions enter the realm of cross-examination.
