Abstract

The article "Evidentiary Value of Documentation" deals with the indicative effect of properly created and timely documentation in paper form. This can be used as evidence in court, provided that it does not show any indications of alterations, falsifications, or contradictions. It is emphasized that the opposing party does not have to disprove the factual accuracy of the documentation, but only needs to raise doubts about the truthfulness of what is documented. The article refers to a specific court ruling concerning alleged medical errors during childbirth. The lawsuit against a midwife was partially justified, while the lawsuit against doctors was dismissed. The defendants have filed an appeal against the ruling. In another case, the Saarbrücken Regional Court rejected the opening of the main proceedings, as the president of the medical association had no legal obligation to prevent the dangers posed to patients by a member of the association suffering from addiction. The prosecution and the joint plaintiffs have filed a complaint to open the main proceedings. [Extracted from the article]
