Lisatõendeid

Lisatõendeid refers to supplementary evidence presented in legal proceedings. This type of evidence is introduced after the initial evidence has been submitted and may be offered to clarify, strengthen, or refute previously presented information. The admissibility of lisatõendeid is typically at the discretion of the court or presiding official. It can include new documents, witness testimonies, expert reports, or physical objects that were not available or discovered at an earlier stage of the case.

The purpose of allowing lisatõendeid is to ensure that all relevant facts are considered before a judgment is made. However, courts are often mindful of preventing undue delays and ensuring fairness to all parties. Therefore, the party seeking to introduce supplementary evidence usually needs to demonstrate why it was not presented earlier and that its inclusion is crucial for a just outcome. The opposing party typically has the opportunity to respond to or challenge the lisatõendeid. The acceptance and consideration of such evidence can significantly influence the direction and ultimate decision of a legal case.
