prima facie evidence Explanation: Este vorba de Începutul de dovadă scrisă (1) Se socoteşte început de dovadă scrisă orice scriere, chiar nesemnată şi nedatată, care provine de la o persoană căreia acea scriere i se opune ori de la cel al cărui succesor în drepturi este acea persoană, dacă scrierea face credibil faptul pretins. Detalii: http://legeaz.net/noul-cod-de-procedura-civila/art-310 Prima Facie [Latin, On the first appearance.] A fact presumed to be true unless it is disproved. In common parlance the term prima facie is used to describe the apparent nature of something upon initial observation. In legal practice the term generally is used to describe two things: the presentation of sufficient evidence by a civil claimant to support the legal claim (a prima facie case), or a piece of evidence itself (prima facie evidence). For most civil claims, a plaintiff must present a prima facie case to avoid dismissal of the case or an unfavorable directed verdict. The plaintiff must produce enough evidence on all elements of the claim to support the claim and shift the burden of evidence production to the respondent. If the plaintiff fails to make a prima facie case, the respondent may move for dismissal or a favorable directed verdict without presenting any evidence to rebut whatever evidence the plaintiff has presented. This is because the burden of persuading a judge or jury always rests with the plaintiff. Prima facie also refers to specific evidence that, if believed, supports a case or an element that needs to be proved in the case. The term prima facie evidence is used in both civil and Criminal Law. For example, if the prosecution in a murder case presents a videotape showing the defendant screaming death threats at the victim, such evidence may be prima facie evidence of intent to kill, an element that must be proved by the prosecution before the defendant may be convicted of murder. On its face, the evidence indicates that the defendant intended to kill the victim. http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/prima facie Reference: http://www.linguee.fr/francais-anglais/search?source=auto&qu... |
