I fundamentally disagree with joint instruction of experts. Now if court staff, (not the litigants and / or their respective lawyers), could find, instruct and pay the single joint expert then that might be OK, but until that happens my experience of single joint experts is that people fight like crazy to have their expert appointed on their set of instructions, (at some significant cost for the losing party in that battle), and the party whose proposed expert wasn't appointed often feels that the appointed single joint expert is biased against them.
