Albanian term

akt ekspertimi

Albanian to English Law/Patents Law (general) Scots Law
In a judicial decision, evidence is rejected because it is not supported by an "akt ekspertimi mjeko-ligjor nga eksperte mjeko-ligjor".

I'm unsure of the best way to translate the "act" of forensic expertise here, because "akt" in this context seems to refer to a document - something that can be provided to a court. Although I suppose it could mean verbal evidence, but "act" still doesn't seem right even for verbal evidence.

Discussion

Ledja Nov 29, 2020:
"Akt ekspertimi" as its own term Probably a bit off topic here, but I am curious about the extent of use of "mjeko-ligjor". It seems that is indeed the case in the provided phrase, but "akt ekpertimi" on its own does not necessarily refer to a medico-legal assessment. I have previously translated court-related documents headed as "akt ekspertimi" whose contents were entirely financial in nature. The same stands for forensics. Its equivalent is closer in accuracy and specifcity to "kriminalistika" then it is to "ekpertiza mjeko-ligjore". Cyber forensics, for example, would make the whole insertion of "mjekësia" redundant.

Statement of appraisal

You are right, it does refer to a document - usually one that is compiled and passed as the official "word" on an issue.

Following your own suggestion, "forensic report" would be more suited in the described scenario.

I threw my thought here, just so you have an extra one to compare. After a research, at least there's times when my suggested translation is the case, but I think that, it depends heavily on the context.
Note from asker:
Yes, it definitely depends on context.

medical-legal assessment

Also found as medico-legal assessment, or personal injury medical examination, which produces a medical legal report.

A Medical/Legal assessment is provided to validate an individual’s case by attaching medical evidence. It is a third-party medical assessment in which the physician provides a professional opinion and expertise on the clients sustained injuries.
What is the Purpose of this Assessment?
The information collected during the assessment is reviewed and conveyed in a professional report highlighting the physician’s medical opinion on the individual injury claim.

Medico-legal examinations are often requested by your lawyer, the insurer, or the insurer’s lawyers for the purpose of your ongoing injury compensation claim. This assessment is often conducted by a medical legal doctor (i.e, medico legal doctor), or other medico legal experts. These doctors are often known as workers’ compensation doctors, AMS doctors, or accident injury doctors. Unlike your GP or your treating doctor, medical legal doctors are often not of your choice. They are chosen by the lawyers or the insurance company to assess your level of disability or impairment ratings.
A medico legal report in a personal injury claim is a report requested so that a party to a dispute can obtain expert evidence from a doctor, as an expert witness, as to the nature and extent of a person’s personal injury.

A medico-legal assessment is an assessment which has been commissioned by the court in order to be used as evidence for medico-legal matters.
