Znalec v trestním řízení se zaměřením na oblast zdravotnictví – Krbcová Tereza (2024)

A valuable and highly beneficial publication that provides a comprehensive overview of expert issues not only from a legal perspective but also from the viewpoint of a medical expert, and didactically explains legal terms that may not always be correctly understood by legal laypersons. The significance of expert evidence in court proceedings is often crucial. The publication addresses the topic particularly in connection with the adoption of the new law on experts, expert offices, and expert institutions, which has brought a number of additional obligations for experts. It discusses individual institutes of the new legal regulation and how their changes have reflected in practice. Among the key topics of the publication are the conditions for the performance of expert activities, the rights and obligations of the expert, the requirements for expert opinions, and the procedural steps of expert evidence in criminal proceedings from the appointment of the expert to the evaluation of the expert opinion. Last but not least, the publication delves deeper into expert opinions in the field of healthcare, which assess the correctness of treatment procedures and frequently use the term lege artis.
