The Supreme Court of Poland revoked the lower court's registration of an association's name containing the title 'court expert.' The association sought to register a name implying members could use this title for non-judicial expert work, arguing it did not legally prohibit such use. The court ruled that the statutory regulation strictly limits the title's use to opinions commissioned by judicial bodies, and allowing its use elsewhere creates misleading public perception of legal authority.

§ 14 of the Minister of Justice Regulation of June 8, 1987; The title 'court expert' may only be used for opinions commissioned by judicial organs or criminal investigation authorities, and its use for other clients constitutes a violation of the law due to misleading public perception.
