SubstanceEvidence. That which is essential; it is used in opposition to form.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
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.
Opposition
practice. The act of a creditor who, declares his dissent to a debtor's being discharged under the insolvent laws.

On the other hand, matters that were deemed to be procedural were to be subject to the law of the forum (the lex fori). The substance/procedure dichotomy is difficult to put into practice, while many exceptions and exceptions to exceptions were introduced into it over the years. In addition, in common law jurisdictions in particular, matters of "procedure" came to include various ancillary matters which were really "substantive" in character, or which are better understood as having their own "proper law".
