Section 229/1 — List of Evidence Requirement and Deadlines

traduction anglaise

Subject to Section 173/1, at the preliminary hearing or the trial, the prosecutor must submit a list of evidence stating the type and nature of objects, a brief description of places, or documents as far as can be specified, together with the names and addresses of the persons or experts whom the prosecutor intends to examine or to have the court inspect or appoint, to the court not less than fifteen days before the day of the preliminary hearing or the day of taking evidence, together with copies of such list of evidence in a number sufficient for the defendant to receive. As for the defendant, the list of evidence together with copies shall be submitted before the day of taking the defendant's evidence. In an inquiry on a request to return seized property that the court has ordered forfeited, or a request for the court to forfeit property, the person concerned shall submit the list of evidence to the court not less than seven days before the day of the inquiry, together with copies of such list of evidence in a number sufficient for other persons concerned, if any, to receive. When the period prescribed for submitting the list of evidence under paragraph one or paragraph two, as the case may be, has ended, if a party or person concerned who has already submitted a list of evidence can show reasonable cause that he could not have known that certain evidence had to be adduced, or did not know that certain evidence existed, or has any other reasonable cause; or if a party or person concerned who did not submit such a list of evidence satisfies the court that there was reasonable cause for being unable to submit the list within the prescribed time, such party or person may apply to the court for permission to rely on such evidence, together with the list of evidence and copies thereof, at any time before the conclusion of the taking of that party's evidence in the case where a list has already been submitted, or before the conclusion of the trial in the case where no list has been submitted; and if the court considers it necessary to take such evidence in order that the adjudication of the essential issues be just, the court has the power to permit the taking and admission of such evidence. The court shall not permit the taking and admission of any evidence which the party or person concerned adducing it did not express an intention to rely on under paragraph one, paragraph two, or paragraph three, or under Section 173/1 paragraph two or paragraph three; but if the court considers it necessary to protect a witness, or to take such evidence in order that the adjudication of the essential issues be just, or to give the defendant a full opportunity to defend the case, the court has the power to permit the taking and admission of such evidence.
