If the examination is especially complex, requires the solution of more than ten issues or the solution of issues requiring several studies, or has more than five volumes of case materials or is complex or requires the involvement of specialists from other institutions (including forensic medicine), enterprises, organizations and other can be performed within the specified time frame, a more reasonable time is established by written agreement with the body (person) that (which) appointed the examination (attracted an expert), after a preliminary examination by the expert of the materials provided.
Preliminary study of materials for simple and medium-complexity research should not exceed five and ten working days, respectively, for complex and especially complex research - fifteen and twenty working days, respectively.
In case of refusal of the body (person) that (which) appointed (a) the examination (attracted an expert), in agreeing the proposed reasonable time for the examination, the case materials are returned with a proposal to appoint an examination to other forensic expert activities, as defined in Article 7 of the Law Of Ukraine "On forensic examination".
In case of non-fulfillment of the expert's requests for the provision of additional materials, non-payment of the cost of the examination in the manner prescribed by the current legislation, failure to ensure access to the research object (obstruction by the parties involved in the case, in the examination of the object), the case materials are returned to the body (person), which ( which) appointed (a) the examination (attracted an expert), indicating the motivated reasons for the impossibility of its conduct.
The examination period begins on the working day following the day the materials are received by the expert institution, and ends on the day the expert's opinion is drawn up (message about the impossibility of giving an opinion). If the end of the established term for the examination falls on a non-working day, then the next working day shall be considered the day of the end of the term.
The term of the examination does not include the term for fulfilling the expert's requests, eliminating the shortcomings made by the body (person) that (which) appointed the examination (attracted the expert).
