Any certified public accountant who is a partner of, employee of, affiliated with, or has a financial relationship with either a claimant, a defendant, a person contemplated to be called as an expert witness for a claimant or defendant, or an attorney representing a claimant or defendant is disqualified from service as a member of the certified public accountant review panel. Any person having a pecuniary interest in the outcome of the panel's review of the claim is also disqualified.
B. Each party to the action shall have the right to select one certified public accountant.
C. When there are multiple claimants or defendants, there shall be only one certified public accountant selected per side. The claimant, whether single or multiple, shall have the right to select one certified public accountant, and the defendant, whether single or multiple, shall have the right to select one certified public accountant.
D. Service on a public accountant review panel shall not be mandatory. The society shall maintain a list of certified public accountants having the required qualifications who are willing to serve on public accountant review panels. The parties, however, are free to select any certified public accountant having the required qualifications who is willing to serve, whether or not he is on the list maintained by the society.
