The Role of a Court Expert in Legal Proceedings

In the field of private investigation and investigative techniques, expert opinions may include, among others:
- analysis of evidence obtained during investigative activities,
- evaluation of methods used for surveillance and documentation of events,
- verification of the authenticity and reliability of collected evidence,
- reconstruction of events based on available information,
- assessment of compliance of investigative actions with applicable legal regulations.
An expert opinion is independent and objective in nature.
Legal Basis for the Activities of a Court Expert
The activities of court experts are based on legal provisions, in particular Article 278 § 1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which provides for the appointment of a court expert when the use of specialized knowledge is necessary.
In the field of private investigation, the Act on Detective Services is also of significant importance, as it regulates investigative procedures and standards for obtaining information and evidence.
The Importance of a Court Expert Opinion
A court expert opinion:
- supports the court in the proper evaluation of evidence,
- helps clarify circumstances requiring professional expertise,
- may confirm or challenge the effectiveness and legality of investigative actions,
- constitutes an important element in the reasoning of a court decision.
In practice, expert opinions are widely used in criminal, civil, and commercial cases.

Frequently asked questions
Court expert — questions and answers
What is a court expert in private investigation?
A specialist entered on the list kept by the president of a regional court, appointed by a court, prosecutor or the police when a case requires expertise beyond legal knowledge — for example an assessment of whether surveillance, a recording or a detective's report was carried out correctly.
At which courts is Kamil Tosiek listed?
At the Regional Courts in Gdansk, Torun, Elblag and Warsaw, in the field of private investigation and investigative techniques. Since 2022 he has also been a court mediator at the Regional Court in Gdansk.
Can a private person commission an expert opinion?
Yes. An opinion for the court is issued during proceedings, but a party or their attorney may order a private opinion — for instance to assess, before the hearing, the evidential value of their own material or of material presented by the other side.
What exactly does the expert assess?
Whether the activities stayed within the limits of the Detective Services Act and data protection law, whether the methods and equipment used were appropriate, and whether the collected material has evidential value in the proceedings.
What does this mean for a client?
Evidence in your case is collected by the person courts ask to assess such evidence in other people's cases. The material is built from the start around how a court will read it.
