Los actos probatorios en el proceso civil en Colombia según el código general de procesos

Abstract

The conflicts that result from human relations can be resolved in two ways, through self-composition, where the parties in conflict resolve their differences themselves through an agreement of wills without the intervention of a third party, an example is the transaction ; or through heterocomposition, where an impartial and neutral third party will be required to seek to resolve the conflict. The Civil process, as a heterocompositive method in Colombia, requires multiple stages that will help the judge to pronounce a reasoned sentence on the conflict to settle, among the stages that must be met in the Civil process is the evidentiary stage or the procedural acts that involve the parties, the judge or third parties intervening or non-intervening in order to record a fact considered relevant, therefore, this essay will address the issue of probative actions of the civil process based on the General Code of Process (Law 1564 of 2012), comprising firstly the definition of procedural evidentiary acts, the principle of the burden of proof and the assessment given by the judge according to the principle of sound criticism, the types of evidence regulated by Law 1564 of 2012 and the evidentiary means admitted in the civil process, concluding with the purpose and utility of the evidence in the civil process in Colombia.
