Plan for the Civil Affairs Officer (Study of a decision)

Abstract

    The witness knows that he is the person who gives the information that he has about the crime or the fact that he was sworn in by the Council of the judiciary and which he recognized in one of his senses, whether that information was related to the circumstances of her proof or exile.
    The wrongful conduct of the witness consists in two terms, namely, his positive conduct, which is the performance of perjury or the return of his testimony, and his passive behaviour, such as his failure to perform or withhold his testimony. Moreover, he may not abstain from performing the certificate except in a particular case specified by law, if the witness is obliged to keep the secret. For a professional, the court has no power to compel the witness to speak, but only the authority to compel him to attend and, when he does not tell the truth, to impose on him the punishment provided for in the Penal Code.
