Course objectives

The aim of the course is to enable students to master the basics of evidence in criminal proceedings, as they are regulated in the Criminal Procedure Code. At the same time, the point is to preserve the meaning and fundamental importance of the taking of evidence in order to ensure a fair result in every criminal case under discussion. This is because only on the basis of it and according to the achieved results of evidence, also in accordance with the valid legal regulation of criminal procedural law, it is possible to achieve such a result. One of the two most important and fundamental activities of the OČTŘ in fulfilling the purpose of the Criminal Procedure Code, in addition to decision-making, is therefore evidence. In the sense of the provisions of § 1 of Act 141/1961 Coll. as amended, in addition to OČTŘ, the parties to TŘ also participate in this process and at the same time cooperate with them, in ascertaining the factual state of affairs of which there are no reasonable doubts, in the spirit and in accordance with the provisions of § 2 odts.5 TŘ. The purpose of the whole procedural procedure is also to ensure the right to a fair trial, which is at the same time one of its most important purposes. Teaching will focus mainly on mastering the basic concepts and principles of evidence, in connection with the use of basic principles of criminal procedure. For the result of the evidence always decides on the result of the criminal process, the correctness, fairness and persuasiveness of the decision and thus, of course, on its educational effect. The overall focus of this course is also aimed at this.
