This book explores whether a party that lacks access to evidence which may be relevant to a legal dispute has the right to obtain access if it is in the possession of the opposite party or a third party. As the approach varies from country to country, expert contributors describe and compare the rules of selected European jurisdictions to consider whether these differences are as radical as they seem at first glance.Key Features:Comparative analysis of country-specific regulations including the ELI/UNIDROIT Model Rules on European Civil ProcedureInformation on the minimum standard for disclosure found in EU directives and necessary changes in national lawCoverage of arbitration proceedings and international coordination, particularly in relation to the use of the rules of US discovery for legal disputes in other countriesDetailed discussion of access to information and evidence in selected European countries, as well as the implementation of EU directives regarding access to information and evidenceAccess to Evidence in Civil Procedure is a crucial resource for legal practitioners in European civil litigation arbitration and dispute resolution. It is also a beneficial read for scholars and students studying European private international law for its valuable practical and theoretical insights.

A range of international and European Union legal instruments exert influence on the national civil procedure rules of European Union member states. Some specifically aim for the harmonisation of national procedural law across Europe, while others primarily focus on facilitating cross-border litigation, enforcing rights or setting minimum standards. However, often the same time instruments cause fragmentation, reduce coherence and challenge prevailing concepts and doctrines of national civil procedure law.With a view to carefully selected North Western jurisdiction (EU and EEA member states) this book explores how EU, EEA, and international legislation, judicial activism on EU and national level, and new soft law instruments affect national civil procedure law and how, in turn, national rules may impact the development of international instruments. How are the respective countries affected by a particular (EU) regulation? Has the regulation generated changes of the national law? Are European rules, or national rules following from them, applied in court practice? Are there differences in the approach towards implementation and application of EU law, and if so why and with what consequences? Do international influences serve as an impetus for national reforms, or are they implemented mechanically? Do hard law approaches produce more harmonisation or convergence than soft law approaches?

Denna bok består av tre delar som behandlar bevisfrågor i dispositiva tvistemål. Den första delen är en översättning av de generella avsnitten i Magne Strandbergs epokgörande norska doktorsavhandling Beviskrav i sivile saker. I belysning av modern filosofi behandlas där vilka teoretiska grunder jurister behöver för att kunna tillägna sig en bevisteori eller utföra en rationell bevisprövning. Det handlar bl.a. om olika sannolikhetsbegrepp och om förhållandet mellan parternas frihet och utredningens robusthet.Den andra delen bygger på en analys av svensk bevispraxis och skisserar en hanterbar metodik för bevisprövningen. Modellen bygger på att domaren i varje enskilt mål analyserar bevisfrågorna i en sekvens som följer bevisteorins byggstenar: åberopsbörda, bevisbörda, utredningsbörda, beviskrav och bevisvärdering.Den tredje delen presenterar kort de NJA-fall rörande bevisprövning i tvistemål som behövs för att kunna bestämma bevisbörda och beviskrav i liknande fall och är tänkt att fungera som en lathund vid den metodiska prövningen.De tidigare delarna i antologiserien BEVIS behandlar bevisning om gärningsmannaskap (1), asyl (2), skattemål (3), skadestånd (4), bevispraxis (5), sexuella övergrepp mot barn (6), förvaltningsmål (7) och migrationsrätt (8).
