曾经看到一篇报道,上面有Expert Shopping的说法。如果不提供上下文,能够猜测是什么意思吗?
专家购物?专业购物?
其实这是说龚如心遗嘱的案子。http://money.163.com/09/0617/02/5BVPO8RB00253B0H.html
相关内容如下:
“此外,陈振聪一方原定聘请来自英国的笔迹专家AudreyGiles为其作证,但是在双方即将交换笔迹专家的报告时,陈方突然表示弃用笔迹专家,并转而传召澳大利亚笔迹专家PaulWestwood。
此举令各界感到惊讶。华懋慈善基金所聘的专家RobertRadley认为,2006年遗嘱上龚如心的签名系伪造。同时质疑陈突然撤换笔迹专家,有“ExpertShopping”(选择合意的专家)之嫌。”
查询了维基百科上的解释如下,供参考:
Expert shopping
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Expert shopping is the practice of finding an expert on a given subject whose professional opinion is skewed toward the answer that the searching party already prefers. This is commonplace in the news media, politics, and business, though can be found in all walks of life.
Another well-known use is in lawsuits, when an expert witness can be paid to testify in favor of one side of the case. In this case, the expert witnesses on each side may have totally different opinions. Explicitly, this qualifies as perjury, but in practice it is difficult to prove, particularly when the expert's testimony is not considered abhorrent by his or her colleagues. They are thus inclined to allow him his scholarly opinion with reservation, instead of formally contesting it.
