An expert's opinion on the question posed to him often becomes one of the main evidence when considering a case in court, and also plays a decisive role in some legal relations, for example, when a defective product is returned or an insured event occurs. This is why it is important to know how to refute an expert opinion.

It is better to submit such comments in writing for attachment to the case file.

When the consideration of the case on the merits is over, you can write your objections to the expert's opinion when appealing the court decision to a higher instance.
Step 7
