3 Cards On This Topic:

Court has duty to set 730 expert’s fees.

Evid. Code §730 experts do not need to be joined in order for the court to determine the reasonableness of their fees.

Trial ct. must set the fee for EC 730 expert; it cannot order a party to pay whatever amount the expert may bill.
