SYNOPSIS OF THE TALK
There is an apparent contradiction between the principle that an Arbitrator or Judge cannot posit a theory of his own, and that where he cannot abdicate the decision making to an expert in matters involving expert evidence. This talk will attempt to identify the boundaries beyond which an arbitrator or judge should not cross.
