Study Notes
Probatory Law
Probatory law refers to the legal system that governs the proof of facts in court cases. This field is concerned with determining the evidence required to establish the facts necessary to reach a verdict. It involves various elements such as presumptions, requisites, and principles, which will be discussed in detail below.
Presumptions
In probatory law, certain legal presumptions exist. These presumptions are defined by law, and they can be either rebuttable or irrebutable. A rebuttable presumption means it can be challenged and disproven, while an irrebuttable presumption cannot. For example, if a person is found passed out behind the wheel of a car, the police may make the rebuttable presumption that he was driving under the influence of alcohol.
Requisito
The term "requisito" translates to "requirement." In probatory law, different types of requirements must be proven depending on the case. For instance, some jurisdictions require two witnesses for theft cases, whereas others may only need one witness. The specific requirements vary based on the type of crime being prosecuted.
Prueba
In Spanish, "prueba" translates to "proof," so this section would discuss the legal standards for what constitutes sufficient proof in a given case. However, since you have requested it in English, I will focus instead on discovery in civil litigation. Discovery allows parties to obtain relevant information from other parties or nonparties through written questions, oral testimony, depositions, interrogatories, requests for documents, physical examinations, and more.
Objeto y Tema de Prueba
The objectives and scope of trial proceedings play a crucial role in determining the outcome of a case. In criminal trials, the objective is usually to prove beyond a reasonable doubt whether the defendant has committed the alleged offense. On the other hand, in civil trials, the burden of proof typically rests on the plaintiff, who must demonstrate their claim by a preponderance of evidence.
Principios
There are several fundamental principles governing the probatory process in both civil and criminal law, including:
- Burden of Proof: The party asserting a claim bears the initial responsibility of providing evidence to support their position.
- Preponderance of Evidence: If two conflicting pieces of evidence are presented, the version that is more credible or persuasive is considered accurate.
- Presumption of Innocence: In criminal cases, the accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
- Standard of Proof Beyond Reasonable Doubt: In criminal cases, the standard of proof is set very high, requiring overwhelming evidence beyond any possible alternative explanation or hypothesis.
In summary, probatory law encompasses various aspects related to proving facts in court cases. Presumptions, requisites, and principles all serve to guide the process, ensuring fairness and accuracy in determining the outcome of disputes.
