Cannabis Business Interruption Expert Witness
After a fire, outage or equipment failure, a grow does not restart instantly. Plants must be propagated and cycled back to harvest, which defines how long production is interrupted.
Ted addresses the restoration period, lost production and lost revenue from an operational perspective. He is not a forensic accountant.
