Part 10: Experts

1.If the expert fails to carry out his task without an acceptable excuse, performs it negligently or files the report beyond the scheduled date, without justification, he shall be served a notice within a time limit not exceeding (5) five business days from the same. If he fails to response within the said time limit, the court shall disqualify him and order him to refund the amounts he has received, without prejudice to the disciplinary penalties and the right of stakeholders to claim compensation from him. 2.The decision disqualifying the expert and obliging him to refund the amounts he has received shall be final and non-appealable. 3.If the court or supervising judge, as the case may be, finds that the delay is caused by one of the litigants fault, it shall order such litigant to pay a fine of not less than (AED 3,000) three thousand dirhams and not more than (AED 10,000) ten thousand dirhams, and may rule that his right to rely on the expert assignment decision be forfeited.
