如何在遗产诉讼中使用死者的证据或陈述|传闻证据

当遗产诉讼案件在 BC 省审理时,死者的传闻证据几乎不可避免地会受到处理。处理此类证据的挑战在于,该人已不再活着,无法证明其对其遗产和资产的意图。那么,遗产案件中传闻证据是否可以采信呢?这要看具体情况具体分析。以下有一些何时可以使用和不可以使用传闻证据的示例。 传闻证据规则及其例外: 传闻证据被定义为用于证明陈述真实性的庭外陈述。在法律上,这种证据一般被认为是不可接受的,因为作证的证人不在法庭上提供证言,因此该证据无法通过质证得到检验。但是,此规则也有例外。虽然传闻证据通常有许多例外情况,但遗产诉讼中常见的例外情况称为“原则性例外”。在这种例外情况下,如果传闻证据符合两个标准,则可以采信:1)必要性; 2)可靠性。也称为“双重标准”。这一原则性方法被加拿大最高法院采纳,并在 R. v. Khelawon, 2006 SCC 57(“Khelawon”)第 2 段中得到阐述。 “。。。当有必要采用这种形式的证据时,如果传闻证据因其产生的方式而内容可靠,或者如果情况允许最终的事实裁判者充分评估其价值,则可以接受该传闻证据。如果证据的提供者不能满足必要性和可靠性的双重标准,则一般的排除规则适用。初审法官在对传闻证据的“门槛可靠性”进行初步评估时充当守门人的角色,并将其价值的最终确定留给事实裁判者。” 重要的是,如果有人想在法庭上使用传闻证据,他们必须证明这是必要且可靠的。他们需要证明这很可能是真的。 Meet Our…
