immigrationexpertwitnesses.com is the network master hub for expert WITNESSES — qualifications, oral evidence, CPR Part 35 duties, tribunal appearance, and the witness directory connecting solicitors to country-specific and thematic expert witness sites.
immigrationexpertreports.com is the sister hub for expert REPORTS — report standards, report types, CPIN framework, Practice Direction 2024 compliance, and the Adam Pipe October 2025 report structure guide. Reports and witnesses are complementary but distinct roles.
An expert witness may provide both a written report and oral evidence at tribunal. However, the witness role encompasses tribunal appearance, cross-examination preparedness, joint expert meetings, and ongoing credibility under scrutiny — capabilities beyond report production alone.
Solicitors should use both hubs: instruct witnesses through this site for tribunal appearance and oral evidence capability; consult the reports hub for report standards, structure requirements, and report-type taxonomy when preparing instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a witness or a report?
Most immigration appeals need an expert report at minimum. Where oral evidence may be directed, instruct a witness prepared to attend tribunal. The witness role includes report production plus hearing attendance capability.
Are witness and report sites the same experts?
The network connects the same specialist expertise across both hubs. This site focuses on witness role, qualifications, and oral evidence; the reports site focuses on report standards and compliance.
