CACI No. 220
Experts—Questions Containing Assumed Facts
The law allows expert witnesses to be asked questions that are based on
assumed facts. These are sometimes called “hypothetical questions.”
In determining the weight to give to the expert’s opinion that is based on
the assumed facts, you should consider whether the assumed facts are
true.
