Trial Objections Explained

Summary

Trial objections in the Philippines are governed by the Rules of Court. Key provisions include Rule 132, Sections 36-39, which outline when and how objections should be made, including grounds like irrelevance and hearsay. Common objections include leading questions, hearsay, irrelevance, speculation, and argumentative questions. Marking of evidence involves labeling evidence before trial, while offering evidence is the formal presentation during trial. Understanding these rules is crucial for effective legal proceedings.

*. Distinguish marking of evidence from offer of evidence
Case Rating: *
Marking of evidence and offer of evidence are distinct steps in a trial:
- Marking of Evidence: This is the process of labeling and identifying evidence before it is formally presented in court. It usually occurs before the trial and ensures that each piece of evidence is properly documented.
- Offer of Evidence: This happens during the trial when a party formally presents the marked evidence to the court and requests that it be admitted into the record. The opposing party may object to the admission, and the court will decide whether to accept the evidence.
