Ledger bookEcclesiastical law. The name of a book kept in the prerogative courts in England. It is considered as a roll of the court, but, it seems, it cannot be read in evidence.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Ecclesiastical
Belonging to, or set apart for the church.
Law
A rule or body of rules of conduct inherent in human nature and essential to or binding upon human society. The learned profession that is mastered by graduate study in a law school and that is responsible for the judicial system.
Name
One or more words used to distinguish a particular individual, as Socrates, Benjamin Franklin.
Book
A general name given to every literary composition which is printed; but appropriately to a printed composition bound in a volume.
Prerogative
1) Civil law. The privilege, preeminence, or advantage which one person has over another; thus a person vested with an office, is entitled to all the rights, privileges, prerogatives, &c. which belong to it. 2) English law. The royal prerogative is an arbitrary power vested in the executive to do good and not evil.
Roll
A schedule of parchment which may be turned up with the hand in the form of a pipe or tube.
Court
A body in government to which the administration of justice is delegated.
Evidence
Proof of fact(s) presented at a trial. The best and most common method is by oral testimony; where you have an eye-witness swear to tell the truth and to then relate to the court (or jury) their experience. Evidence is essential in convincing the judge or jury of your facts as the judge (or jury) is expected to start off with a blank slate; no preconceived idea or knowledge of the facts. So it is up to the opposing parties to prove (by providing evidence), to the satisfaction of the court (or jury), the facts needed to support their case. Besides oral testimony, an object can be deposited with the court (eg. a signed contract). This is sometimes called "real evidence." In other rarer cases, evidence can be circumstantial.
