Plus with most systems like this you can challenge her qualifications and ability to actually be considered an expert witness. A colleague of mine told me a story of an OMB hearing where some neighborhood NIMBY folk attempted to qualify themselves as urban planners because they had "demonstrated expert knowledge in sound planning principles". So the lawyer for the Municipality went at them and challenged them on a number of 'sound planning theories' which they couldn't answer or respond too, whether they had urban planning or related degrees, had received training or even were certified by OPPI (Ontario Professional Planners Institute), etc.
They failed to be qualified as urban planners - but did get qualified as experts for their neighborhood, which seemed fair to me.
