By the use of groups of expert witnesses, it has allowed case time management to improve, but also has affected the time taken in courts.

"Hot Tubs'" and their use in the Australian courts
A "Hot Tub" is a group of expert witnesses that present their testimonial evidence concurrently. In contested proceedings, each party presents expert witness(es) of their own, that will provide evidence in favor of each party's case. The use of "Hot Tubs" have been stated to either concise a case decision or instead prolong the time of the cases due to longer cross examination of contrasting evidence.
