A new batch of experts took the legal oath Monday at the Ministry of Justice as accredited experts before the judicial authorities in Qatar, in accordance with the regulations set forth in the Law No 16 of 2017, regularising expertise works.
The new batch includes a contingent of expert national cadres in various specialisations. The ministry is working to increase the number of experts and diversify their areas of expertise, especially accurate and rare technical expertise. A system for the experts' roster was developed to document and record the various experiences in all disciplines, with the development of rules regulating how experts are registered in the rosters and authorizing the experts to practice the work of expertise.
The registration certificate was handed over to the experts to embark on discharging their duties after they were registered in the rosters of experts at the Experts Department at the Ministry of Justice.
Assistant Undersecretary for the Minister's Office Ahmed Hassan al-Kuwari said the Ministry of Justice is fully preparing and qualifying national cadres and expertise and works to attract rare experts to enhance the efficiency of judicial entities in various fields and specialisations to achieve the objectives the ministry seeks to achieve for the legal system through providing expertise that keep abreast of the comprehensive renaissance Qatar is witnessing in all fields in pursuit of consolidating the justice.
Experts are being prepared and qualified to practice the profession through integrated training programmes that applicants receive to practice the profession before taking the legal oath within regular courses at the Centre for Legal and Judicial Studies.
These programmes aim to educate applicants about the rules for practicing the profession of experts by reviewing the provisions related to the conditions for registration in the experts' roster, clarifying the legal obligations related to practicing the profession of experts and taking note of the rules for complaining against the expert and disciplinary accountability, as well as the legal rules related to the implementation of expert work and the legal rules regulating the delegation of experts in criminal matters from the Public Prosecution, and a statement of the rules for discussing and objecting to the expert's report.
The programmes also deal with the provisions regulating the registration of experts, the controls for practising expert work, and the rules for performing and executing expert work in the Code of Criminal Procedure.
