Judicial expertise refers to the activities that appraisers use science and technology or specialized knowledge to identify and judge the specialized issues involved in litigation and provide expert opinions.

Second, the start of judicial expertise

The party who bears the burden of proof for the matters that need to be appraised may entrust the appraisal conclusion made by the relevant department on its own, but if the other party has enough evidence to refute and apply for re-appraisal, the people's court shall allow it. Therefore, it is suggested that the parties should apply to the court in the course of litigation, that is, within the time limit for giving evidence. With the consent of the people's court, the two parties shall determine an authentication institution with authentication qualification through consultation. If negotiation fails, it shall be designated by the people's court. Avoid the extra expenses caused by self-entrustment.

Three. Time limit of judicial expertise

General simple judicial authentication matters shall be completed within 30 working days from the effective date of the judicial authentication power of attorney. And the complexity should not exceed 60 working days. However, if the judicial authentication institution and the client have otherwise agreed on the time limit for authentication, such agreement shall prevail. In addition, the time required to supplement or re-extract identification materials during the identification process is not included in the identification time limit.
