Lloyd's
Lloyd's. in the second half of the seventeenth century a number of merchants, ship-owners, and insurance brokers were accustomed to meet in Lloyd's Coffee House in the City of London. From these meetings arose the present association of underwriters, which is famous throughout the world as a centre of marine insurance. Shipping intelligence of all kinds is collected by Lloyd's agents all over the world and forwarded to London. Signal stations have been established under the provisions of (English) Lloyd's Signal Station Act, 1888 (51 & 52 Vict. c. 29). Derelict ships have to be reported to Lloyd's (Derelict Vessels (Report) Act,1896 (59 & 60 Vict. c. 12)).

Besides marine insurance, almost any risk can be covered there, and by the Assurance Companies Act,1909 (9 Edw. 7, c. 49), ss. 28 and 33, members of Lloyd'...

Expert witness
Expert witness, an 'expert' is not a 'witness' of fact. His evidence is really of an advisory character. The duty of an 'expert witness' is to furnish the Judge with the necessary scientific criteria for testing the accuracy of the conclusions so as to enable the judge to form his independent judgment by the application of this criteria to the facts proved by the evidence of the case. The scientific opinion evidence, if intelligible, convincing and tested becomes a factor and often an important factor for consideration along with the other evidence of the case. The credibility of such a witness depends on the reasons stated in support of his conclusions and the data and materials furnished which form the basis of his conclusions, State of Himachal Pradesh v. Jai Lal, (1999) 7 SCC 280: AiR 1999 SC 3318 (3321). [Evidence Act, 1872, s. 45]...
