Who pays the cost for polygraphy under the Protocol? And doesn the review process introduce serious uncertainty as to prospective costs?
The invoking party pays all costs, unless there results a strong inference that the other side’s witness was deceptive. If a party requests that a result be reviewed, that party pays the costs of the review unless the original result is reversed. It is true that neither side knows at the outset whether examinations will be reviewed, or witnesses re-examined. Even in the worst case, where after reviews and re-examinations there is no strong inference, the costs of polygraphy will be usually be small in comparison to the total costs of a litigation.
