Short description of project |
The major objective of this project is to explore whether there exists a common core of European Law of Evidence (and taking evidence in particular), and if it does, to describe its content and its most important points of discord among the national legal systems. However, the aim is not only to compare the elements in the law of EU Member States, but to explore the actions of national courts to different situations (regarding the application of EU instruments or national law). By providing a clear picture of common core principles, the project can serve as a starting point for further harmonisation or unification processes in this field.
A second major objective of this project is to contribute to the development of mutual trust among the national courts inside the EU as well as trust among policymakers in one Member State and national courts of other Member State, since such mutual trust is a basis for further development of the European Area of Justice and a prerequisite for further development of European Civil Procedure. Our assumption is that there can be no trust without a clear picture what courts do in matters of evidence, and how they discover the facts.
A third major objective is to address the main issues and problems in the application of communication technology in evidence taking with special emphasis on videoconferencing in order to assist professionals with guidelines
A fourth major objective is to transfer the EU's existing good practices in taking evidence to Croatia as a new Member State joining the European Union.
