Are claims made in legal fillings considered testimony?
In general, claims made in legal filings are not considered testimonies. Testimony is specifically a formal statement made under oath. Legal filings can contain allegations or statements, but they're not considered testimonies until they're sworn in a judicial proceeding.
What do you call claims made in legal filings?
Claims made in legal filings are generally referred to as "allegations."
Gotcha...
Hello Benjamin, I'm glad I could help you understand the difference between a claim and a testimony. If you have any more questions or need further clarification on any legal matter, feel free to ask.
Another question...
Of course, Benjamin. I'm here to assist you. What's your next question?
If you raise your a contention in a legal filing, but mot make a formal objection, is it still considered raising an objection on appeal?
In Kentucky, generally, an issue must be "preserved" by making a timely and proper objection at trial to be considered on appeal. If an issue wasn't properly objected to at trial, it may be considered waived and not reviewable on appeal.
So an objection has to be in formal writing?
In Kentucky, it's generally not necessary for an objection to be in formal writing. It's more important that the objection is made clearly and on the record during the trial proceedings. Please note that specific procedures may vary, so consulting with a local attorney could be beneficial.
Gotcha...
