520			_aIllustrates how expert witnesses are immune from action regardless of their incompetence or deceit. Discusses the case "Raiss v Palmano" where the expert witness falsely claimed he was a member of the RICS arbitration panel and lacked the specialist knowledge to answer questions effectively. Mr Palmono was sued for his performance as an expert, but at the appeal it was concluded that he would retain immunity because his failures had not affected the outcome of the case and his claim to be a member of the RICS arbitration panel was no different the exaggerations of other experts.
