The Judge Ses No Facts：on the Facts,Evidence, and Fact Identification under the Principle of Evidentiary Adjudication

Evidentiary adjudication is one of the important signs of progress of litigation and judicial civilization. There are three key concepts under the principles of evidentiary adjudication: facts, evidence and fact identification. They form a kind of logic relationship among proposition, the argument and conclusion. As a logical starting point of judicial proof, the case facts have legal determinacy which is different from the facts in philosophical sense, and also different from the fact that as a foundation for the judicial judgment. As the basis of the facts, the evidence emphasizes more the relevance and legitimacy in form. As a logical end point of judicial proof, fact identification is a rational, rigorous proof, but the case facts happened in the past, the fact-finder can only see the evidence, and can only use the evidence to find the facts, which determines the uncertainty of fact identification.
