Evidence from an opinion of a scientific or research and development institute with particular emphasis on the application of disciplinary measures

Abstract

This article presents the issues of proof from the opinion of a scientific or research institute and the issue of applying disciplinary measures. In its regulations, the Code of Civil Procedure contains measures enabling the discipline of experts. However, these regulations do not apply directly to scientific or research institutes. Thus, in a situation of excessive length or unjustified refusal to prepare an opinion by a scientific or research institute, these entities would be “unpunished” compared to an expert. Therefore, in the above-mentioned cases, disciplinary measures should be applied to an expert against the above-mentioned institutions.
