- to explicitly state the limitations of the methodologies employed
- to make every effort to use language and terminology that can be understood by the court
- to clearly differentiate between scientific results and expert opinion
- to disclose all findings, irrespective of their implications
- to comment on the work of another expert in good faith, objectively and not maliciously
- to recognise our over-riding duty to the proper administration of justice.
