The article deals with the issue of determining the limits of expert competence in forensic examinations in case of improper provision of medical care in civil proceedings. The practical example shows the features of legal evaluation of expert opinion by the court in case an expert goes beyond the limits of specific knowledge. Special attention is paid to objective difficulties in differentiation of an expert legal assessment and a lawenforcement act, which arise while performing examinations on materials of medical malpractice.
