BURDEN AND STANDARD OF PROOF : SHIFTING THE BURDEN OF PROOF FROM THE PROSECUTION TO THE DEFENDANT

SHIFTING THE BURDEN OF PROOF TO THE FROM THE PROSECUTION TO THE            DEFENDANT

s. 106 Evidence Act 1950

When any fact is especially within the knowledge of any person, the burden of proving that fact is upon him. The rational:-

PP v Hoo Chee Keong

Here, the accused had used 3 forged credit cards. It is then up to the accused to prove that he genuinely did not know that the credit cards were forged.

… is an exception to s. 101 of the Evidence Act 1950… designed to meet certain exceptional cases in which it would be impossible, or at any rate disproportionately difficult for the prosecution to establish facts which are ‘especially’ within the knowledge of the accused and which he could prove without difficulty or inconvenience.

It should be noted that the word “especially” used in s.106 of the Evidence Act 1950 is discussed in the subsequent cases:-

BURDEN AND STANDARD OF PROOF

s. 101 Evidence Act 1950

Whoever desires any court to give judgement as to any legal right or liability dependent on the existence of facts which he asserts must prove that those facts exist.

The burden of proof thus lies on the prosecution in a criminal case whereas the plaintiff would assume the burden of proof in a civil case.

Controversial 114A

What is Section 114A?

Section 114A is the second of two amendments made to Malaysia’s Evidence Act 1950.

Law Minister Nazri Aziz tabled the second amendment, formally known as Evidence (Amendment) (No2) Act 2012, in Dewan Rakyat on 18 April. James Dawos Mamit supported the motion, and Section 114A was passed after the second and third reading. On 9 May, Dewan Negara passed the amendment.

The amendment was gazetted on 31 July 2012. This means the law is now operational.
