Part 2 of Article 79 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine provides for a ban on the participation of a specialist and an expert in criminal proceedings if they conducted an audit, inspection, etc., the materials of which are used in these proceedings. This provision does not contain a ban on the repeated participation of an expert in the proceedings if he has already conducted an examination in the same criminal proceedings.
