In this article, the author analyses German approach to the civil liability of a consultant to third parties in cases of providing them with misstatements. In particular, the article considers the doctrine of fiduciary liability of experts developed by German lawyers as one of the civil liability forms. The author’s particular attention is paid to the criteria developed in German judicial practice, which is a necessary condition to justify the liability of experts to compensate for pure economic losses of third parties. At the end of the article, it is suggested that the German approach to consultant’s liability to third parties could be adopted in the Russian law, as there is a general trend on increasing number of such cases in courts.
