Common Questions

Q.01

Do you prepare CPR Part 35 reports for England and Wales?
Yes. Loss of Profits Expert is a London practice. Expert reports for proceedings in England and Wales are prepared to CPR Part 35 and Practice Direction 35. The expert's overriding duty is to the court. We also prepare reports for Scotland and Northern Ireland where the applicable procedural rules require it.

Q.02

What is the before and after method for loss of profits?
The before and after method (also called the before and after approach) is a loss of profits quantification methodology that compares the financial performance of a business before the event that caused the loss with its performance after the event. The difference in revenue or profit: adjusted for non-event factors, represents the loss. It is most commonly used where the claimant has a reliable pre-event trading history.

Q.03

What is the yardstick method for loss of profits?
The yardstick method (also called the comparable business method) quantifies loss of profits by reference to the financial performance of a comparable business, one that was not affected by the event that caused the claimant's loss. It is particularly useful where the claimant is a new business without an established trading history, or where pre-event records are unavailable or unreliable.
