WHAT ELEMENTS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE EXPERT OPINION OF A COURT EXPERT?
The expert opinion of a court expert consists of several key elements.
- Data about the specialist that include the name, academic degree, specialization, and affiliation with the court or research institution. If another person participated in the expertise, their name and surname must be provided, along with an indication of the tasks they performed.
- Data of the court commissioning the opinion that involves the signature of the case and a description of the evidentiary material on which the specialist relied.
- Time of conducting the expertise and the date of issuing the opinion.
- Detailed examination report that includes a description of the adopted method and an indication of any equipment used during the work, as well as sources of specialized knowledge.
- Conclusions/justification that is the most important part of the opinion where the expert must address all questions posed by the court.
- Attachments that includes documents, research materials, and photographs if necessary.
- Signatures of all experts. If multiple experts were involved in issuing the opinion, their signatures should be included. However, those who participated in the examination may be questioned by the court as experts, while those who only participated in the research may be questioned as witnesses.
Finally, the prepared opinion must be submitted to the court, and copies must be provided to the parties involved in the proceedings. Parties have the right to submit their comments on the conducted expertise.
