Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to study acknowledgment as one of the most prominent means of proof in civil lawsuits, in terms of defining its legal scope and its effects on the course and outcome of the civil lawsuit. Acknowledgment is a legal act issued by one of the parties to the lawsuit, which includes an acknowledgment of a third party's right. A means of proof of a special nature due to its binding force in proof, and given the direct legal effects that may result from it, it may lead to the resolution of a dispute without the need for additional means of proof. The research focuses on distinguishing between judicial and non-judicial confessions, analyzing the conditions for the validity of confessions and their impact on their acceptance as evidence before the judiciary, in addition to clarifying the extent of the court's commitment to them. The study also examines the implications of the admission on the course of the lawsuit and its decisive impact on shaping the judicial ruling, making it one of the fundamental pillars of the evidence system in civil cases.
