The article analyses the question of the expert’s liability, that is, the reasons why an expert may be held liable as a court procedure participant having certain duties, disregarding which may lead to criminal, administrative or other penalty according to the legislation of the Russian Federation. Since an expert is an independent proceedings participant, that is, there should be no conflict of interest, the article also considers reasons for disqualification of an expert.
