The current code of civil procedure was adopted on 20 April 2005 and came into force in 1 January 2006. Since coming into force several changes have been made to the current code with significant changes coming into force on 1 January 2009. Estonian civil procedure is mainly based on the adversarial principle, except for some specific cases and proceedings on petition where the inquisitorial principle is used. Deriving from this the parties are in most cases free to decide on what evidence to submit and whether to submit evidence at all. While the court may ask the parties to submit evidence, they are not required to do so. The situation is different in cases based on the inquisitorial principle. Estonian civil procedure does not impose many restrictions as to the kind of evidence that can be submitted. Virtually anything that can be reproduced in some way may be submitted as documentary evidence and any person who has knowledge about the facts of the case may be heard as a witness. Even the parties may be heard under oath. The Estonian Code of Civil Procedure does not set out many rules on how to evaluate the evidence submitted. The basic rule is that the court has to assess the evidence impartially and as a whole and not give any preference to any particular piece of evidence. 410 0$aLaw & society. 606 $aLaw, General & Comparative$2HILCC 606 $aLaw, Politics & Government$2HILCC 610 $acivil procedure 610 $agathering of evidence 610 $ainternational civil procedure 610 $aprivate international law 610 $aestonia 610 $aprocedural costs 610 $aCommunist Party of China 610 $aDefendant 610 $aDigital signature 610 $aJudiciary of Russia 610 $aLawsuit 610 $aLetters rogatory 610 $aPlaintiff 610 $aSupreme court 615 7$aLaw, General & Comparative 615 7$aLaw, Politics & Government 700 $aPoola$b Margus$0916700 801 0$bPQKB 801 2$bUkMaJRU 912 $a9910131522903321 996 $aEvidence in civil law$92055130 997 $aUNINA
