Electronic discovery has complicated the earlier simple processes of litigation. There are many severe new complications giving rise to new consequences abound in litigations now. expert reports of matters involving  rebuttal crime commonly have a format or other technical documentation associated with them. This information cannot be readily understood by laymen and needs to be reviewed and presented in common language. This is to allow all people involved in the case to understand matters pertaining to the case completely.        

Verifying existing rebuttal evidence is a much sought after service in rebuttal forensics.

There are areas where there is a possibility of differences or shortage of information in evidential information and thus forming a hindrance to handling the evidence.
