Article 82. Additional and repeat expert examination

In case of incompleteness of the opinion of an expert (expert commission), the court is entitled to appoint an additional expert examination which shall be performed by the same or another expert (expert commission).

A repeat expert examination shall be appointed when the opinion of an expert (expert commission) is unsubstantiated or its correctness is doubted, or materials used as a basis for it are recognized to be untrue, or the rules of performing the expert examination have been breached.

At appointing a repeat expert examination, an expert (expert commission) may be asked about the scientific validity of previously applied examination methods.

A ruling on the appointment of a repeat expert examination must contain the reasons for disagreement of the court that ordered the repeat expert examination with the opinion of the first (previous) expert examination.

The repeat expert examination shall be carried out by another expert (expert commission). The expert (expert commission) who performed the first (previous) expert examination may be present during the repeat expert examination and give explanations, but he cannot participate in the examination and drawing up an opinion.
