Written on in English with a size of 2.29 KB

Introduction

The Second Industrial Revolution and the second half of the twentieth century brought important changes in market structure: consolidation of big business and mass consumption, a shift away from the party responsible for damage (the manufacturer), internationalization of markets, etc. The traditional regulatory arsenal (Civil Code, Commercial Code, and Competition Law) proved insufficient to protect consumers.

Understanding Circumstantial Evidence in Trials

In criminal trials, it is not uncommon for there to be no direct evidence of a defendant's participation in a particular offense.

However, from these facts, the reality of the crime or the defendant's involvement can be deduced based on logic and experience. Often, this trial evidence leads to a legal presumption.
