Abstract

Fire appraisals presented for actual criminal actions insurance charge suits are reviewed to explore role of scientists in maintaining just judicial judgement on the responsibility of unwanted fires. The asymmetry in the forensic technical capability between the both sides at the court, general inferiority of indictees to investigators at a criminal action or that of common people to experienced enterprises at civil suits is suggested as the key background for the preservation of the asymmetry.
