Tort Liability of a Court Expert for Damage Caused by a False or Incorrect Opinion Delivered in Court Proceedings. Remarks Against the Background of the Latest Jurisprudence

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the rarely discussed question of tort liability of a court expert for damage caused by issuing an untrue (inaccurate) opinion in court proceedings. Two judgments, important from this point of view, have been discussed – the judgment of the Supreme Court of 29 May 2015 (V CSK 479/14) and the judgment of the Supreme Court in Katowice of 29 November 2019 (V ACa 266/18). They indicate that the court expert is liable for his tort irrespective of whether the court’s action taken in the proceedings for which the opinion was prepared was correct or not. The concept of an expert’s tort liability towards the parties to the proceedings is the subject of criticism explained in detail in the article. A postulate was also put forward for the urgent adoption by the legislator of a comprehensive law on court experts.
