Summary

Introduction

The article analyses the concept of “a forensic examination’s task” as one of the fundamental terms of forensic expertology. Колдин называл задачу судебной экспертизы задачей экспертного исследования и указывал, что под ней понимается «цель исследования, которая сформирована экспертом на основе поставленных перед экспертизой следователем или судом вопросов и по которой должно быть сформулировано заключение эксперта» [4]. Задачи судебной экспертизы не следует смешивать с задачами конкретного экспертного исследования.
