单位出具证明材料的证据形式探讨

A discussion on the evidence modality of proof provided by units

法律对证据能力的许容性与限制性是建立在证据本身特性的基础上,单位本身并无作证能力。单位为履行提供证据义务所出具的证明材料之证据能力与单位的身份属性无关,单位证明材料的适格性是由该材料本身的性质决定的。应当区分严格证明与自由证明对单位证明材料证据资格的不同要求,并依据单位证明材料的不同形式纳入法定证据种类。

The legal provision for evidence capability is based on the characteristic of a proof. The unit cant bear witness in a law court. The proof provided by units is independent of the status of a unit. The qualification of proof is determined by its characteristic. It is necessary to distinguish the various qualifications for evidence capability, the strict proof and the relax proof. We can bring the proof provided by units into legal species of proof according to its different modality.
