Expert Testimony: Hypothetical Questions
During the trial, an expert witness was told to assume certain facts and asked for an
opinion based upon the assumed facts. This is called a hypothetical question. Consider the
opinion in answer to the question only if you believe the assumed facts upon which it is
based. If you find that the assumed facts in the hypothetical question have not been proved,
do not give any weight to the opinion.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
