L’objectif du cours est de permettre aux étudiants d’acquérir une solide compréhension des principes qui gouvernent le droit de la preuve dans les matières civiles au Québec et dans les juridictions canadiennes de common law, de situer ceux-ci dans un contexte plus large en ayant recours au besoin à des sources étrangères, et de permettre aux étudiants de développer une réflexion critique à l’égard du fondement et de la nécessité des règles en place. Il aborde notamment le rôle du tribunal dans l’administration de la preuve, les règles relatives à la charge de la preuve, les règles propres aux divers moyens de preuve (écrit, témoignage, aveu, présomption, présentation d’éléments matériels), et les principes applicables à la connaissance d’office du tribunal. Il aborde également l’interdiction du ouï-dire et les règles spécifiques applicables à la preuve des actes juridiques, de même que plusieurs règles d’irrecevabilité de la preuve, incluant le secret professionnel et divers privilèges reconnus par le droit de la preuve.
