Publication at Faculty of Law |

Abstract

The presented text "Expert opinion in criminal proceedings and the impossibility of its repetition" deals with the role of expert opinions in the context of evidence in criminal proceedings. It examines, on the basis of general considerations and on the basis of experience from specific cases, when it is appropriate to repeat the expert examination in criminal proceedings and when not, and how qualified the objections to the original expert opinion should be in order for the court to repeat the expert examination.

As part of the answer to the academic question asked, the text classifies the crime according to its seriousness and considers the negative effects of possible miscarriages of justice and the possibilities of their subsequent recovery. From this ratio, it then proposes possible adjustments to the conduct of criminal proceedings.
