IEA Section 56 — Fact judicially noticeable need not be proved

Chapter 3

Summary

A fact that a court already knows or accepts as true without requiring evidence does not need to be formally proven in court. This means you do not have to present proof for things that are obvious or widely known, such as the date of a public holiday or a basic scientific fact.

Official Text
