VOLUNTARY ADMISSION [2 records]

Record 1 2010-12-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Law of Evidence
  • Practice and Procedural Law
CONT

Until now there simply has been no right guaranteed by the Federal Constitution to be free from the use at trial of a voluntary admission made prior to indictment.

OBS

Admission. A voluntary acknowledgment made by a party to a lawsuit or in a criminal prosecution that certain facts that are inconsistent with the party's claims in the controversy are true.

OBS

An admission is not the same as a confession. A confession is an acknowledgment of guilt in a criminal case. Admissions usually apply to civil matters; in criminal cases they apply only to matters of fact that do not involve criminal intent.

Domaine(s)
  • Droit de la preuve

CONT

La question de savoir si un aveu était volontaire ne se pose que s'il est statué au préalable, qu'il a été fait à une «personne en situation d'autorité».
