Summary
Il-Qorti ghamlet osservazzjoni dwar ir-relazzjoni bejn dak li jissejjah “the legal burden” u dak lijissejjah “the evidential burden” kif giet hekk deskritta minn Sir Richard Eggleston fil-ktieb tieghu “Evidence, Proof and Probability” fejn intqal “it is often said that although the legal burden ofproof remains throughout the trial where it was at the beginning, the evidential burden may shift from one party to the other. All this really means is that as a case proceeds, one party or the otherwill produce evidence, which if it remained unchallenged, would entitle the party producing it to adecision in his favour. In this sense it can be said he shifted the burden of proof onto the other party (pp 91/92).” F'dan il-kaz ix-xhieda li tat Anne Marie Gauci dwar l-incident stradali mertu ta'din il-kawza, hija prova li ma gietx “challenged” min-naha tal-appellant hlief ghar-riferenza ghall-isketch li tista' ukoll tkun konfort ghal dak illi qalet il-parti leza u ghalhekk l-ewwel decizjonigiet konfermata.
