Smart contract legal review: when and why
A smart contract legal review differs from conducting a dispute: it is an analysis carried out before a dispute — or within one — that answers the question of what the code does legally and whether this corresponds to the parties' intended agreement. Georgia has no separate rule for this — the expertise institution of the Civil Procedure Code applies, regulating technical assessment before the court.
The need for expertise arises in two typical situations. The first — preventive: the parties check the contract before release so that a dispute does not arise at all. The second — judicial: during a dispute the court resorts to special knowledge, because interpreting the code's behaviour without it is impossible. In both cases the form and content of the expertise are determined by procedural norms.
