Judicial experts have generally better conditions for elaborating expert reviews for the court compared to physicians whoundertake assessment activities within their medical practice. Therefore, sometimes during the assessment of the case for the courtthe facts that were not looked upon before are identified and consequently the former conclusion of the assessment is changed.Sentences of the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic have the character of judicature and when related to the assessment ofoccupational diseases they should be respected by physicians in their decision making process. The paper presents the examples ofassessment when the original conclusion had to be changed due to further more detailed analysis of the case in the process ofjudicial assessment. Several sentences of the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic related to occupational diseases are mentioned.
