Court Expert: Business Economics

A court expert in the field of business economics is appointed when it becomes necessary to obtain information on the impact of specific decisions or economic events on a company’s financial standing, sometimes in connection with an analysis of its overall economic situation.

Examples of issues that may be subject to expert opinion in the area of business economics include:

the financial result achieved on transaction X / performance of a contract with entity X;
assessment of whether a particular economic event (e.g. implementation of an investment project or execution of a contract) resulted in financial damage;
determination of the amount of damage caused by a given economic event;
the level of margin generated on a specific transaction;
correctness of the decision-making process concerning the execution of a given business undertaking, particularly of an investment nature;
assessment of whether a given economic undertaking (investment project) was economically justified;
assessment of whether an unforeseeable event (e.g. the COVID-19 pandemic) was the sole factor that prevented timely performance of a contract.

Court Expert: Economic Analysis of Enterprises

A court expert in the field of economic analysis of enterprises is appointed when it becomes necessary to obtain information about the overall financial condition of a company and/or the impact of certain decisions or economic events on that condition. This means that the scope of expert opinions in this area significantly overlaps with that of business economics.

Examples of issues that may be subject to expert opinion in the field of economic analysis of enterprises include:

the financial condition of the enterprise during a specified period;
the enterprise’s ability to meet its obligations at a particular moment, e.g. at the time of incurring a liability or signing a contract;
indication of the moment at which a bankruptcy petition should have been filed / the prerequisites for filing such a petition materialised;
assessment of whether a creditor suffered damage as a result of the debtor’s failure to file for bankruptcy in due time;
the financial result achieved on transaction X / performance of a contract with entity X;
assessment of whether a particular economic event (e.g. implementation of an investment project or execution of a contract) resulted in financial damage;
determination of the amount of damage caused by a given economic event;
the level of margin generated on a specific transaction;
correctness of the decision-making process concerning the execution of a given business undertaking, particularly of an investment nature.
