Problems of legal regulation of examination in civil proceedings

Abstract

Currently, forensic expertise in a competitive environment is becoming an increasingly important element in civil proceedings. In the article, the author examines the currently problematic issues of legal regulation of the institute of expertise in civil proceedings. If the activities of state experts are fully regulated by federal law, then non-state expertise has not been regulated by legislation for a long time, which causes legal problems and generates many procedural issues. The author draws attention to the insufficiently clear and effective legal regulation of expertise in civil proceedings, as well as other problems related to this area. Insufficient qualifications of experts, a long period of expertise and discrepancies in the conclusions may negatively affect the interests of the parties and the credibility of expert opinions in general. The author emphasizes that the problem of this area is not exclusive to Russia. There is also a need to develop more effective methods of regulating expertise in civil proceedings.
