A confession is the statement by which a person acknowledges as true a fact likely to produce legal consequences against him. It may be judicial or extrajudicial.
A confession is the statement by which a person acknowledges as true a fact likely to produce legal consequences against him. It may be judicial or extrajudicial.
A purely verbal extrajudicial confession is received only in cases where the law allows proof by any means. Its probative value is left to the judge’s discretion.
A judicial confession is the statement made in court by the party or his specially authorised representative. It is authentic against the person who made it. It cannot be divided against its author. It is irrevocable, except in the case of a mistake of fact.
