Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- The Law "On the introduction of amendments and additions, as well as the invalidation of certain legislative acts of the Republic of Uzbekistan" was signed by the President of Uzbekistan.

The law establishes that the Code of Administrative Responsibility establishes a fine for officials in the amount of 3 to 5 sizes of basic estimated value (from 900,000 soums to 1.5 million soums) for violating the law on the openness of the activities of public authorities and administration.

According to these offenses, officials of the Anti-Corruption Agency draw up a protocol on an administrative offense.

The law "On the Bar" establishes that lawyers have the right to request, with the consent of the principal in economic, civil and administrative proceedings, an examination on a contractual basis by state forensic institutions and non-state forensic organizations.

The lawyer may also demand that the conclusion of the expert opinion be attached to the case materials and its assessment by the court in the totality of the evidence available in the case.

Due to the fact that forensic activities are allowed to engage in non-governmental organizations, the Civil Procedure Code and the Code of Administrative Procedure introduced the concept of "non-governmental forensic organization".
