How many certificates do you usually need to be effective? In principle, we need at least one witness and more than three witnesses to provide us with proof. Witnesses must provide true and accurate evidence, testimony and testimony in order to effectively achieve the purpose of proof. You should know that witnesses are very useful and belong to direct proof. When the credibility is high, they can directly affect the results. Therefore, I suggest that it is most effective to upload at least two witnesses when going to court, because one witness's proof is not strong enough, and two witnesses just prove it for us forcefully, which can improve our success.
At the same time, I would like to remind you warmly that witnesses must be approved by the court to be effective, otherwise even if more witnesses appear in court and are not approved by the court, they will be invalid.
Second, the requirements for witnesses.
1, know part or all of the case. Knowingly knowing a case refers to a person who directly perceives the case with his own sensory organs such as eyes, ears, nose and tongue. The perception here is direct perception, not indirect perception of listening and speaking.
2, can correctly express the will. For example, a person with physical or mental defects, or a young person who can't express his will correctly, can't be a witness. A witness is a person who makes relevant statements to the court about the case he knows. Therefore, this requires the witness to have a certain language expression ability in order to truly and clearly express the perceived facts of the case.
3, can correctly understand the legal consequences of testimony.
4. A third person other than the litigant.
As long as you have these four items at the same time, regardless of nationality, race, gender and education level, you can become a witness in civil litigation. However, as a judge, juror, expert witness, bailiff, translator and lawyer in the trial of civil litigation cases, you can't be a witness in this case at the same time, because that will lead to role conflict, which is not conducive to the realization of the principle of justice and the maintenance of litigation procedures.
Third, how to protect witnesses.
When investigating and collecting evidence, the investigators of the people's courts, people's procuratorates and public security organs should try their best to ensure the safety of witnesses. If you question a witness, you should be in a safe and reliable place, and try not to let the criminal suspect, defendant and their relatives know. When it is found that witnesses and their close relatives may be in danger because of testifying, protective measures should be taken in time, such as arresting criminal suspects and defendants in time and helping witnesses move to safe places. In the investigation stage, witnesses and their close relatives should keep confidential when testifying. Anyone who threatens, insults, beats or retaliates against a witness or his near relatives shall be investigated for legal responsibility according to the circumstances. If the case constitutes a crime, criminal responsibility shall be investigated in accordance with the law; If the circumstances are minor, but not serious enough for criminal punishment, public security penalties such as detention, fine and warning shall be given in accordance with the regulations on administrative penalties for public security. "Threatening" witnesses includes threats to personal and property safety such as injury, killing and destruction of property, as well as threats to expose privacy, damage reputation or use the difficulties or weaknesses of witnesses to prevent witnesses from testifying, force witnesses to perjury or retaliate against witnesses or their close relatives. "Insulting" witnesses includes personal insult and personality insult.
