摘要：The expert witnesses are third persons who are different from parties and judge(s) and who using their professional knowledge or special experience help the court to establish a certain fact. The court provides evidence by hearing testimony from expert witnesses to establish particular facts when there is a need for expert knowledge which the court does not dispose of itself. The author in the article points at certain aspects of the notion of expert witnessing and expert witness; appointment of expert witnesses; expert witness testimony given by legal and physical persons; duty to give a testimony as an expert witness; disqualification of expert witnesses; expert witnesses sanctioning; refunding and payment for the testimony given by the expert witness; summons issued for expert witnesses; instructions given to expert witnesses and their identification; court directing the expert testimony; findings and opinion of the expert witness; contradictions and failures associated with expert testimony; appeals against the court ruling to appoint an expert witness and on the notion of a special type of expert witnesses – the court interpreter. The author gives a special attention to the status and work of medical expert witnesses.
