Finding fact

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Finding facts are data that a court expert determines in the course of taking evidence based on his specialist knowledge. They can be differentiated from connecting facts and additional facts . Connection facts are already established procedurally before his activity, and he has to start from them. He learns additional facts in the course of his work without his special expertise being important for their perception and without them affecting his expert assignment.

In a court opinion, he presents the findings and the method of their determination before drawing conclusions from them and evaluating them. Finding facts are introduced into the process as an expert during the interrogation, the result of the expert opinion must be explained orally to the court. However, he does not have to testify as an expert but as a witness about any additional facts that may be present.
