A review is needed when an opinion raises doubts: the source data is unclear, sampling procedures were breached, the conclusions do not follow from the laboratory test reports or the expert did not answer all the questions.

A review does more than express disagreement. It identifies specific methodological, logical and factual shortcomings in the examination.

This document may be used to request a repeat or additional examination, prepare objections or assess the prospects of court proceedings.

What to prepare for your enquiry

  • a description of the situation and the dates of events;
  • photographs, video, records and correspondence;
  • documents relating to the object or land parcel;
  • laboratory test reports, if already available;
  • court documents, if the dispute is already being heard.
