Law/Patents - Law (general) / statement against interest
English term or phrase: statement against interest
The above comes from a list of questions/instructions prepared by an attorney for defendants in a civil case.

If you claim that the party propounding these Interrogatories made any admissions or statements against interest, state the following:

....


From Wikipedia:

In United States law, a statement against interest is a statement made by a person which places them in a less advantageous position than if they had not made the statement and is, as a consequence, deemed credible as evidence (usually within a legal trial). For example, if a driver in an automobile accident boasts publicly that they were speeding, it may represent a legal admission of liability. It is analogous to the criminal equivalent, the statement against penal interest which is a statement that puts the person making the statement at risk of prosecution. In the United States federal court system and many state courts, statements against interest by individuals who are not available to be called at trial (but not other persons) may be admitted as evidence where in other circumstances they would be excluded as hearsay.

wstęp złożony pod przyrzeczenie rozstrzygające


Explanation:
Compare juramento decisorio or deferido in Spanish : the plaintiff / claimant will be bound by whatever the defendant say on atch, even if contrary to the latter's interest (West), so adverse to its maker. The scenario is the same in the English law of evidence as the US Am. variety.

'Zaprzysiężone oswiadczenie (art. 1357 k.c.) składa jedna lub druga strona (przyrzeczenie rozstrzygające) lub nakaz jego złożenia wydaje sąd. W przypadku przyrzeczenia rozstrzygającego, oswiadczenie stanowi ostateczny dowód na korzysć lub niekorz..'
