Subject
The points address the mandatory requirement of court supervision for technical expertise under Article 83 of the Code of Civil Procedure, the nullity consequences when that requirement is breached, and related implications for compensation claims and recovery of a vehicle.
Summary
- Conducting a technical expertise without court supervision results in nullity because Article 83 is a mandatory public-order provision. - If a first-instance court performed the expertise without moving to the vehicle site where no obstacle prevented it, the expertise is void; the appellate court must order a new expertise under Article 83 and supervise it. - If the first-instance court dismissed the claim portion for loss and damage and the plaintiff did not appeal that dismissal, that portion falls outside the scope of the appeal; valuation and fees relate only to the remaining claim segment. - If ownership of the vehicle is established in favor of the plaintiff, an order requiring the defendant to deliver the vehicle aligns with applicable law. - If customs’ seizure of the vehicle was not due to a customs law violation, the vehicle owner may seek its recovery under Article 1190 of the Civil Code.
