Subject field(s)
  • Law of Evidence
  • Offences and crimes
DEF

Evidence showing or tending to show one's involvement in a crime or wrong.

CONT

No distinction should be made between inculpatory and exculpatory evidence. The attempt to make this distinction in connection with the confession rule proved to be unworkable and was eventually discarded by this Court.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit de la preuve
  • Infractions et crimes
CONT

Aucune distinction ne devrait être faite entre preuve inculpatoire et preuve disculpatoire. On a tenté de faire cette distinction dans le cas de la règle relative aux confessions. La distinction s'est toutefois avérée impossible à appliquer, si bien que notre Cour l'a finalement écartée.
