Expert Witness

Disagreements, whether business to business or business to consumer are often resolved by using FIRA’s team of furniture, environment, materials and manufacturing experts.

Unfortunately, under certain circumstances, agreement cannot be reached and a legal case ensues. In these situations, individuals with specific expert witness skills and court experience are indispensable.

FIRA experts habitually solve substantial numbers of problems and frequently stand as expert witness in criminal and civil courts. Manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, consumers and enforcement authorities can all benefit from authoritative, independent advice on a range of subjects including:

• board materials and moisture
• environment
• ergonomics
• fabric and upholstery (including beds)
• finishes and surfacing materials
• finishing processes
• fire safety of upholstered products
• fitness for purpose
• furniture fitting and installation (including kitchens etc)
• glass in furniture
• health and safety
• manufacturing
• product safety
• structural stability, strength and durability
• timber defects and quality issues
