The Cabinet approved a bill to improve the institutional and legal framework of the judicial expertise system. Its implementation will help create a modern, rapid and independent judicial expertise mechanism, said Minister of Justice Vladimir Grosu, quoted by IPN.
The document contains regulations concerning judicial expertise, admission to the profession of judicial expert, the status of judicial expert, the continuous formation and assessment of the performance of the judicial expert.
There will be used a new method of punishment for disciplinary deviations. The bill also defines the procedure for suspending a judicial expert. Currently, the suspension of judicial experts working for a public judicial expertise institution is envisioned only by the labor legislation, while the suspension of private judicial experts is not regulated.
The new law was drafted based on studies of the national legal expertise system that revealed a number of shortcomings, such as the absence of an independent central institution that would manage the judicial expertise system at national level and the lack of common quality standards and appropriate equipment and labs.
