| In order to enable a Consulting
Forensic Engineer to Report as fully as possible it
is good practice to include in the Brief as much relevant
information as possible.
In an advanced case the brief should include Attendances,
Statements, Accident Report Forms, Garda Abstracts,
other technical reports and Pleadings. The Brief should
include contact details of the client and occupiers
representative as is appropriate. |

In order to carry out an
inspection of a locus, equipment or similar the ACFE
Guidelines indicate that a Consulting Forensic Engineer
should have the formal consent of the owner/occupier.
In a recent case the High Court refused to admit the
evidence of a Consulting Forensic Engineer deemed to
have been a trespasser.
Most Members prefer to make arrangements directly with
Clients and other parties rather than through instructing
offices as it reduces the links in the communication
chain that can go wrong.
