Witness Statement

Cases can readily be won or lost on the strength of witness evidence at trial. Important applications may fail if a witness statement does not adequately deal with all of the issues. A legal representative, therefore, must understand both the underlying theory behind the use of witness evidence and documentation during the course of litigation, including the rules on hearsay, and the practical requirements and challenges encountered in the preparation of witness statements. This chapter discusses the use of evidence at trial; the preparation of witness statements for interim applications and at trial; the use of hearsay in civil cases; and evidential tools.

DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE CERTIFIED AS TRUE BY A PROFESSIONAL PROXY IN PROCEEDINGS FOR AN ENTRY IN THE NATIONAL COURT REGISTER Summary The article concerns the acceptable form of documentary evidence in proceedings for an entry in the Polish National Court Register, in particular whether as of 1 January 2010 it is permissible to attach documents certified as true copies by the proxy appearing in the case, that is an attorney, legal representative, or attorney of the Polish State Treasury Office, to applications for entry in the Register. The analysis of this issue examines the provisions of Art. 129 § 3 and Art. 6944 § 1 of the Polish Civil Procedure Code, including an analysis of the relation between these provisions. In conclusion the author observes that despite the fact that there is a lex generalis ‒ lex specialis relations between Art. 129 § 3 and Art. 6944 § 1 of the Code, the principle of lex specialis derogat legi generali does not apply. Consequently, in the proceedings for entry in the Register there are no legal obstacles for the submission of documents on the basis of which entries are to be made in the Register, in the form of copies or transcripts certified as a true copy by the acting proxy (attorney, legal representative, or attorney of the State Treasury Office) of the party to such proceedings.
