Any development is accompanied by mistakes, because the man who has never made a mistake has never made anything; therefore by putting an end to innovative processes the society will rather lose than gain.
What are the mistakes and major areas where such mistakes can be made? What are the limits of classifying mistakes and actions aimed at committing crimes? How to avoid serious consequences in rendering professional services? Who is liable in case of a mistake? This is the range of issues we focused on during the 2019 Kovalyov Readings on 14-15 February in Yekaterinburg, Russia.
