Abstract
Functional type a posteriori error estimates are proposed for approximate solutions to plane problems arising in the Cosserat theory of elasticity. Estimates are reliable under quite general assumptions and are explicitly applicable not only to approximations possessing the Galerkin orthogonality property. For numerical justification of the approach, the lowest order Arnold-Boffi-Falk approximation is implemented.
