▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation examines the approach to statutory formalities in South African law. It focuses primarily on formal requirements which result in nullity in the event of non-compliance, and in particular, on those prescribed for alienations of land (section 2(1) of the Alienation of Land Act 68 of 1981) and suretyships (section 6 of the General Law Amendment Act 50 of 1956). To provide context, the study commences with a general historical overview of the development of formal requirements. It also considers the advantages and disadvantages of formalities. The conclusion is reached that an awareness of both is required if a court is to succeed in dealing with the challenges posed by statutory formalities. The dissertation then considers more specific aspects of the topic of formal requirements, including the difference between material and non-material terms. It also reveals that the current interpretation of statutory formalities is quite flexible and tends towards a conclusion of validity if reasonably possible. However, cases involving unnamed or undisclosed principals present particular challenges in this context, and the possibility of greater consistency, without the loss of theoretical soundness, is investigated. A discussion of what should be in writing, and with what exactitude, necessarily involves a consideration of the extent to which extrinsic evidence is admissible. The interaction between formal requirements and the parol evidence rule is therefore investigated. Special attention is paid to incorporation by reference. After an examination of the common-law approach to this topic, the conclusion is reached that room exists for developing this area of South African law, especially where a sufficient reference to another document is concerned. Rectification also enjoys detailed examination, due to the unique approach adopted in South African law. Where formalities are constitutive, a South African court first satisfies itself that a recordal complies with these requirements ex facie the document, before it will consider whether rectification may be appropriate. An analysis of both civilian and common-law judgments suggests that the South African approach is based on a misconception of the purpose of rectification. This leads to the further conclusion that the requirement of ex facie compliance should be abolished as a separate step and that a court should rather consider whether awarding a claim for rectification would defeat the objects of formalities in general. Finally, the remedies available to a party who performs in terms of an agreement void for formal non-compliance and the effect of full performance in terms of such an agreement, receive attention. An investigation of the remedies available in other legal systems reveals that the South African approach of limiting a party to an enrichment claim is unnecessarily restrictive. It is argued that local courts should reconsider their exclusion of estoppel in this context, particularly in cases where one party’s unconscionable… Advisors/Committee Members: Du Plessis, J.

▼ The acquisition of digital evidence is the most crucial part of the entire digital forensics process. During this process, digital evidence is acquired in a forensically sound manner to ensure the legal admissibility and reliability of that evidence in court. In the acquisition process various hardware or software tools are used to acquire the digital evidence. All of the digital forensic standards relating to the acquisition of digital evidence require that the hardware and software tools used in the acquisition process are validated as functioning correctly and reliably, as this lends credibility to the evidence in court. In fact the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 in South Africa specifically requires courts to consider issues such as reliability and the manner in which the integrity of digital evidence is ensured when assessing the evidential weight of digital evidence. Previous research into quality assurance in the practice of digital forensics in South Africa identified that in general, tool validation was not performed, and as such a hypothesis was proposed that digital forensic practitioners in South Africa make use of hardware and/or software tools for the forensic acquisition of digital evidence, whose validity and/or reliability cannot be objectively proven. As such the reliability of any digital evidence preserved using those tools is potentially unreliable. This hypothesis was tested in the research through the use of a survey of digital forensic practitioners in South Africa. The research established that the majority of digital forensic practitioners do not use tools in the forensic acquisition of digital evidence that can be proven to be validated and/or reliable. While just under a fifth of digital forensic practitioners can provide some proof of validation and/or reliability, the proof of validation does not meet formal international standards. In essence this means that digital evidence, which is preserved through the use of specific hardware and/or software tools for subsequent presentation and reliance upon as evidence in a court of law, is preserved by tools where the objective and scientific validity thereof has not been determined. Since South African courts must consider reliability in terms of Section 15(3) of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 in assessing the weight of digital evidence, this is undermined through the current state of practice in South Africa by digital forensic practitioners.

▼

Selon Henri Levy-Bruhl, « la preuve est inséparable de la décision judiciaire : c'en est l'âme et la sentence n'est qu'une ratification ». Située au cœur du procès, la preuve se trouve aussi liée à l'existence du droit lui-même. Ainsi, selon un adage ancien, « ne pas pouvoir prouver son droit revient à ne pas en avoir ». Cet adage, aussi strict qu'il puisse paraître, ne doit pas être pris à la lettre dans la mesure où le droit à prouver existe même en l'absence de preuve mais c'est la reconnaissance de ce droit sur le plan juridique qui posera problème si la partie concernée ne parvient pas à le prouver. La preuve en droit fiscal revêt la même importance dans la mesure où elle est soumise aux principes généraux de droit qui régissent la preuve en droit civil. Ainsi, cette étude nécessite de développer à la fois les règles relatives à la charge de la preuve et celles relatives à son administration. La charge de la preuve est régie par deux adages selon lesquels « la charge de la preuve incombe au demandeur » et « celui qui allègue une exception en défense doit la prouver. » L’application est limitée à la charge initiale. Quant à l’administration de la preuve en droit fiscal est gouvernée par les règles relatives à la preuve en contentieux administratif. Elle est définie comme étant le moyen par lequel celui sur qui repose la charge de la preuve justifie ses prétentions. En droit fiscal, il n’y a pas de règles quant aux moyens de preuve admis par le juge. Comme en contentieux administratif, le juge n’a pas le droit d’imposer aux parties une preuve spécifique. Tous les moyens de preuve sont acceptés et le juge apprécie leur juste valeur selon son intime conviction

According to Henri Levy-Bruhl, « the evidence is inseparable from the judicial decision : it is the soul and the sentence is only a ratification ». Located at the heart of the lawsuit, the evidence is also linked to the existence of the right itself. Thus, according to an old adage, « not being able to prove one's right is not to have one ». This adage, as strict as it may seem, should not be taken literally to the extent that the right to prove exists even in the absence of evidence but it is the recognition of this right on the legal plane that will pose problem if the party concerned can not prove it. Evidence in tax law is of equal importance to the extent that it is subject to the general principles of the law governing the civil law evidence. Thus, this study requires the development of both the rules on the burden of evidence and those relating to its administration. The burden of evidence is governed by two statements that « the onus of evidence lies with the plaintiff » and « whoever alleges an objection in defense must prove it ». The application of these adages is limited to the initial charge. As for the administration of evidence in tax law, it is governed by the rules of evidence in administrative litigation. It is defined by the means by which the party on whom the burden of evidence lies to justify its claims. In tax law, there are no rules…

▼ Abstract Women claiming refugee status in Canada must demonstrate to the Immigration and Refugee Board [IRB] that their claim is valid and plausible. Canada’s legislative framework acknowledges that gender-related persecution can qualify as a ground for refugee status under the United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees [Refugee Convention]. Specifically, the IRB’s Chairperson’s Guideline 4 – Women Refugee Claimants Fearing Gender-Related Persecution [Gender Guidelines] assist IRB decision-makers in deciding gender-related refugee claims by offering options for procedural accommodation and analytical guidance in the evaluation of gender-related claims. The Gender Guidelines aim to ensure decision-makers have “the degree of knowledge, understanding, and sensitivity” needed to make a “fair and correct judgment” of gender-related claims (Griffith v Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), [1999] FCJ No 1142 (QL)). The purpose of this research is to critically examine the use of the Gender Guidelines in IRB decisions on gender-related refugee claims and Federal Court judicial reviews of those claims. Looking at 166 Federal Court of Canada judicial reviews of gender-related claims of persecution previously rejected at the IRB level from 2003 to 2013, I used a grounded theory methodological basis and content analysis approach informed by Michel Foucault’s insights on power relationships and Judith Butler’s insights on performativity to examine discursive deployment of gender in refugee determinations through the treatment of the Gender Guidelines. I examined four legal standards used in these judicial reviews of gender-related claim determination—credibility assessments, plausibility assessments, availability of state protection, and the availability of an internal flight alternative [IFA]. I analyzed the application of these standards and looked at how variables such as country of origin or type of persecution or extrajudicial factors such as Canadian political discourse and rigid understandings of gender identity result in inconsistent application of the Gender Guidelines, thereby violating women refugee claimants’ right to procedural fairness. Several recommendations are made for changes at both the IRB and Federal Court level to correct identified barriers and to ensure all claims related to gender-related persecution have a full and fair opportunity to provide evidence and have it considered on its merits.

▼ This doctoral thesis aims to explore the underlying rationale of the (by modern standards) wide use of character evidence in the courts of classical Athens. Linking divergent areas of social sciences such as law, history, psychology and social anthropology, this interdisciplinary quest examines under a socio-political prism the question of legal relevance in Athenian forensic rhetoric. Specifically, I am concerned with an in-depth analysis of the surviving court speeches placed in their context in order to reveal the function of the Athenian courts and the fundamental nature of Athenian law. I explore the utmost aims of the first democratic system of justice and give a verdict as to its orientation towards the attainment of key notions such as the rule of law, equity and fairness, or social stability through utilitarian dispute resolution. My claim is that, although ancient and modern definitions of such ideals are in essence incomparable, the Athenians achieved the rule of law in their own terms through the strict application of legal justice in their courts. In such a legal system, no ‘aberrations’ or irrelevant ‘extra-legal’ arguments may carry significant weight. Central for my argument is the homogeneous approach to (legal and quasi-legal) argumentation from Homer to the orators, in a period covering more than four centuries. Close analysis of the dispute-resolution passages in ancient Greek literature exposes the striking similarities with the rhetoric of litigants in the Athenian courts. Therefore, instead of isolating (in time and space) the sphere of the Athenian courts of the mid-5th to the late-4th centuries, my holistic approach discloses the need for an all-embracing interpretation of the wide use of character evidence in every aspect of argumentation. I argue that the explanation for this practice is to be found (on a subjective level) in the Greek ideas of ‘character’ and ‘personality’, the inductive method of reasoning, and (on an objective level) in the social, political and institutional structures of the ancient Greek polis. Thus, a new exegesis to the question of legal relevance for the Greeks emerges.

▼ This thesis examines the relationship between proportionality and facts in constitutional adjudication. The Australian High Court has developed various tests of constitutional validity that incorporate elements of the tripartite proportionality formula of suitability, necessity and balancing. Yet the scope and content of these tests, including the role of facts, remains uncertain. In addition, while the global spread of proportionality has attracted considerable academic attention, there has been little sustained analysis of the role of facts. In light of this, the thesis seeks to understand the extent to which factual inquiry matters in proportionality reasoning in Australia, both conceptually and in practice. Following this primary research question, the thesis considers how courts currently deal with facts in proportionality reasoning and, second, how an understanding of the nature and significance of facts might assist in the processes of fact-finding. The thesis answers these questions by analysing the conceptual structure of proportionality and the relevance of facts within each of the three stages. To understand the nature of these facts, it evaluates various taxonomies of fact that have been developed and considers how these might apply to proportionality reasoning. Building on this conceptual foundation, the thesis examines how proportionality has been applied by courts in practice. While the primary focus is on Australian constitutional adjudication, the thesis also draws on the experiences of Germany, Canada and South Africa. These comparative perspectives demonstrate how the link between proportionality and facts has been understood in practice, and potentially inform the application and development of proportionality reasoning in Australia. The thesis argues that facts are relevant to all three stages of proportionality reasoning but are likely to be most prominent at the necessity stage. The Australian and comparative jurisprudence illustrates, however, that there is variation in the extent to which questions of fact have been recognised in practice; courts do not always openly acknowledge the factual underpinnings of proportionality and there has been considerable judicial disagreement about whether evidence is necessary or appropriate to inform assessments of proportionality. It is argued, further, that in order to understand the significance of facts there is a need to distinguish more clearly between the types of empirical claims that arise at the different stages of proportionality analysis. While it is possible to draw on existing categorisations of fact that have been developed, such as legislative or constitutional facts, proportionality contains its own distinctive set of questions. It is therefore instructive to consider the facts that arise at each stage separately. The thesis concludes by considering the procedural implications that result from this contextual approach to facts.

▼ In courtrooms across the U.S., defendant-authored rap lyrics are being introduced as incriminating evidence. Prosecutors describe these lyrics as an admission of guilt. Others, however, fear rap lyrics are being used as evidence because of stereotypes about the genre and the artists associated with it, which may affect trial outcomes. Only a handful of studies have empirically examined concerns about this practice, and these studies are methodologically limited and becoming increasingly outdated. My dissertation involves a set of studies that address these limitations and build upon previous research. In Study 1, which consists of three experiments, I examined the impact of genre-specific stereotypes on the evaluation of violent song lyrics by manipulating the musical genre ascribed to the lyrics while holding constant the actual lyrics. Experiment 1, a direct replication of previous research, found that participants deemed identical lyrics more literal, offensive, and in greater need of regulation when they were characterized as rap compared to country. I found in Experiment 2 that this genre effect was not unique to one set of lyrics and in Experiment 3 that it was not influenced by the race of the songwriter. Findings from Study 2, which used a similar design as Study 1, revealed that the songwriter of the lyrics was viewed more negatively across a number of dimensions when the lyrics were categorized as rap rather than country, punk, or heavy metal. Finally, in Study 3, I examined the adjudicative consequences of using rap lyrics as evidence in a criminal trial. In particular, participants evaluated rap lyrics in two contexts, one of which was a trial, and then provided a verdict for the trial. Results revealed that participants who believe a defendant is guilty were more likely to treat rap lyrics as an admission of guilt compared to when the lyrics were not presented in the trial context, however evaluations of the lyrics did not predict verdict. Ultimately, these findings provide insight into the potential consequences of introducing rap lyrics as evidence at trial.

▼ This thesis examines the interpretation and application of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (UK), Part 11 Chapter 1, which came into force on 15 December 2004. Part 11 Chapter 1 concerns evidence of bad character, a concept approximately comparable with common law similar fact evidence, in relation to all parties who may be connected with a criminal trial. The admission and use of similar fact evidence has often been the subject of controversy, and the significant changes made by the CJA 2003 have attracted their own body of support and criticism. The nine chapters of this thesis attempt an in-depth study into the impact of the legislation on the robustness and effectiveness of the criminal trial, and consider whether the criminal trial is suited to the level of exposure of bad character now facilitated by the CJA. In particular, the thesis focuses upon the key provisions governing the uses of bad character evidence of the defendant: the seven gateways set out in s 101 of the CJA. The operation of those gateways and their accompanying explanatory provisions is examined through a combination of engagement with the Law Commission’s Report 273 (which preceded the enactment of the legislation), the range of Court of Appeal cases dealing with the legislation, and academic commentary. It was foreshadowed by commentators and early case law that the new provisions might not be easy to interpret or apply, and subsequent cases have borne out this prediction. An analysis of the bad character provisions suggests that, even though the CJA was intended to provide clarity in regulation, it has itself led to confusion in some important respects. Certain central terms lack definition, and some provisions have unintended consequences. The case law reflects this in its frequent, often brief, and sometimes inconsistent analysis of the specific parts of the legislation, which can make it difficult to determine the defendant’s guilt or innocence in a precise and scrupulous manner.

▼ Cyber crime is a growing problem, with the impact to both businesses and individuals increasing exponentially, but the ability of law enforcement agencies to investigate and successfully prosecute criminals for these crimes is unclear. Many national needs assessments were conducted in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), which all indicated that state and local law enforcement did not have the training, tools, or staff to effectively conduct digital investigations (Institute for Security and Technology Studies [ISTS], 2002; NIJ, 2004). Additionally, there have been some studies conducted at the state level, however, to date, none have been conducted in Indiana (Gogolin & Jones, 2010). A quick search of the Internet located multiple training opportunities and publications that are available at no cost to state and local law enforcement, but it is not clear how many agencies use these resources (“State, Local, & Tribal” for FLETC, n.d.; https://www.ncfi. usss.gov). This study provided a current and localized assessment of the ability of Indiana law enforcement agencies to effectively investigate when a crime that involves digital evidence is alleged to have occurred, the availability of training for both law enforcement officers and prosecuting attorneys, and the ability of prosecuting attorneys to pursue and obtain convictions in cases involving digital evidence. Through an analysis of the survey responses by Indiana law enforcement agencies and prosecutors’ offices, it is evident that Indiana agencies have improved their ability to investigate crimes with digital evidence, with more than half with employees on staff who have attended a digital forensic training course within the past five years. However, a large majority of the agencies still perceive their abilities to investigate crimes with digital evidence in the mid-range or lower. The results support the recommendation that a comprehensive resource guide needs to be made available that the agencies can use to locate experts, obtain assistance with standard operating procedures, learn about free training courses, and find funding opportunities to increase their capabilities in investigating crimes involving digital evidence.

« Depuis la constatation d'une infraction jusqu'au jugement de son auteur, toute la chaîne pénale est articulée autour de la question cardinale de la preuve ». Placées au coeur du procès pénal, la preuve et son administration sont aujourd'hui confrontées à de nouveaux enjeux. La modernisation de la société et le développement exponentiel des nouveaux moyens de communications et des nouvelles technologies, en tous domaines, bousculent l'administration de la preuve et les règles qui la régissent. Dans un même temps, les droits processuels s'invitent désormais aux côtés des droits fondamentaux, résultat de la place prépondérante prise par la jurisprudence de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme,mais aussi du droit pénal de l'Union européenne. Aussi, l’administration de la preuve doit profiter de cette période de crise d’identité pour se construire un socle juridique pérenne qui tient compte des nouvelles exigences juridiques, judiciaires et sociétales. Ainsi, l'administration de la preuve doit à la fois conduire à la manifestation de la vérité tout en garantissant les droits et les libertés fondamentales. Ensuite et afin de faire face aux enjeux et aux défis de son temps, l'administration de la preuve doit satisfaire à une double exigence, celle de la qualité et de l'efficacité de la loi. Tel est l'objectif de ces travaux, qui se voulant résolument pragmatiques, ont pour fil rouge la loi n°2011-392 du 14 avril 2011 relative à la garde à vue, et s'appuient sur la pratique judiciaire de la gendarmerie nationale, dont la mission ne se cantonne pas à la seule recherche de la preuve. En effet,cette Institution qui met en pratique quotidiennement les règles relatives à l'administration de la preuve se veut aussi être une force de proposition, notamment lors de la phase de conception de la loi.

Placed at the heart of the penal process, today the evidence and its administration are facing new challenges. The modernisation of society and the exponential development of new means of communication and new technologies in all fields are shaking up the administration of evidence and the rules that govern it. At the same time, procedural rights are now being invoked alongside fundamental rights, as a result of the predominant position taken by the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and also of the European Union's criminal law. Thus, the administration of evidence must take advantage of this period of identity crisis to build a permanent legal basis that takes into account new legal, judicial and societal requirements. Consequently, the administration of evidence must lead both to the manifestation of the truth and to the guarantee of fundamental rights and freedoms. Then, in order to face the challenges and challenges of its time, the administration of evidence must meet two requirements: the quality and effectiveness of the law. This is the purpose of this work, which is resolutely pragmatic and has as its guide in the law no. 2011-392 of 14 April 2011 on custody, are based on the judicial practice of the…

▼ This thesis concerns the struggles over the production of the truth of state violence in Turkey in the three decades following the infamous 1980 military coup. Specifically, it focuses on cases of torture and enforced disappearance, two forms of violence which the state not only used extensively but also around which it built a specific regime of denial in collaboration and complicity with the official forensic institution. The latter is the ultimate authority that produces medical documents and reports that can be used in making legal claims. Based on two years of fieldwork in human rights NGOs, forensic medicine institutions and hospitals, and interviews with human rights activists, forensic physicians, victims and the relatives of victims of violence, this thesis aims at a genealogy of the terms by which evidence making, claim making, and state making occurred in Turkey in the last three decades (1980-2013). These terms are crafted in the encounters between state officials, victims, and physicians, each of who hold different relationalities, epistemologies, and desires, and who find themselves to be in constant negotiation and struggle. The thesis shows that while human rights activist physicians' challenge to the state has been crucial in documenting and restricting violence, its partial success also shaped the political sphere, transforming political crises into medical problems that can be solved by ordering, regulation, standardization and normalization. While oppositional public discourse relied extensively on the concepts of scars, illness, DNA and bones, its demands hinged on procedural and legal transformations rather than on a shift in power. Although forensic evidence has become increasingly more valuable, I refrain from adhering to a linear narrative that would shift from personal and subjective to objective and forensic modes of witnessing. Instead, I recount how testimony and medical knowledge enforce one another or, enter into contestation at the site of medical institutions, graves, at home, on the street and in courts and produce not only a unique forensic history in Turkey but also a unique regime of bearing witness to violence alongside the one of denial.

▼ In the process of resolving disputes, courts are required to make findings of fact on the basis of incomplete evidence; courts have to reason with factual uncertainty. In this dissertation I argue that the uncertainty of juridical fact-finders has a probabilistic nature, and that probability theory is a useful tool for understanding and improving factual accuracy in juridical proof. I support this thesis by providing probabilistic analyses of the law governing criminal and civil standards and burdens of proof. Particular issues that I examine include: the difference between the civil and the criminal standards of proof; the variability of the civil and criminal standards; probabilistic considerations governing the allocation of burdens of proof; the role of the burden in resolving the fact-finder's higher-order uncertainty about the exact probabilistic strength of the evidence; modifications to the law of standards and burdens of proof in response to the difficulties of predictive proof; mechanisms by which the accumulation of doubt is managed where there is factual uncertainty with regard to more than one legal element; and the supposed legal requirement that evidence not only satisfy a probabilistic standard of proof, but also be of sufficient weight, completeness or detail. In my examination of these areas of evidence law, I find that, to a large extent, current principles of proof already comply with the requirements of probability theory. At only a few points does existing practice appear to depart from probabilistic principles. At these points, the question arises whether the law requires reform. I recognise two qualifications to the normative use of probability theory in juridical proof. First, the guidance that probability theory offers is limited to factual accuracy, whereas juridical proof has other concerns, such as due process. In prescribing reforms, it must be considered whether other goals are threatened. Secondly, in order for the reforms to be capable of implementation, they should not involve too radical a change from current practice; the prescriptive should be not be too distant from the descriptive. Despite these constraints, in this dissertation I draw a number of prescriptions from probability theory. These appear quite capable of implementation as they involve only incremental change from current practice, and can readily be expressed in natural language. I reject arguments that current differences between juridical proof and probability theory can be explained in terms of other goals of juridical proof. Factual accuracy is a major concern of juridical proof, and is not sacrificed lightly.

▼ The state of Utah has sexual assault rates consistently higher than the national average. Following sexual assaults, victims are advised to seek health care services with evidence collected and packaged in sexual assault kits (SAKs). This large (N=1,874), retrospective study examined rates of sexual assault kit (SAK) submissions by law enforcement (LE) to the state crime laboratory for analysis at four sites in Utah with established sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) programs on SAKs collected from 2010 to 2013. Variables of legal and extralegal characteristics in sexual assault cases were explored through GEE modeling to determine what factors predicted SAK submissions. For submitted SAKs, the length of time between the dates of assault and dates of submission were categorized and bivariate and multivariate analyses calculated to discover legal and extralegal characteristics affecting time of submission. The four study sites in Utah represented 40% of Utah LE agencies and 65% of the stateÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s population. Out of the 1,874 SAKs in the study, only 38.2% were submitted by LE to the state crime laboratory for analysis. When SAK submissions were examined based upon time between assaults and submission dates, 22.8% were submitted within a year of the assault and 15.4% were submitted more than a year after the assault following media and community pressure for LE agencies to submit SAKs in storage. Significant variability of SAK submission rates and the time submitted from the assault dates were found between the four sites. Site location was found to be the main determinant of whether or not SAKs were submitted. The lack of SAK submissions for analysis results in justice denied for victims and raises public safety concerns. The finding that the location in which the sexual assault occurred was the primary factor on SAK submissions represents an inequity of justice. Advisors/Committee Members: L. Kathleen Sekula, Alison Colbert, Rebecca Campbell, Victor Weedn.
