An independent witness who has particular expertise in an area or profession relevant to the claim.
Express terms
Terms that are written in a contract of employment. For example, the salary is generally an express term.
Extempore
Reasons or judgments are said to be given “extempore” if they are given straight away at the end of a hearing. Understandably, the parties are keen to know the outcome as soon as possible so they generally prefer an extempore decision. This is entirely in the hands of the judge.
