Defined as a party's depositions including the deposition about facts to be identical with other party's assertion and to be disadvantageous for him, the deposition to acknowledge other party's assertion which is disadvantageous to him, the deposition to acknowledge other party's assertion true and the deposition not to argue with other party in any condition during oral defence and defence preparation procedure.
When these confessions are once established, on the one hand, they bind court and prohibit to use the fact contrary to them as basic facts for a judgement. It is the binding for the original intention of confession, the second theses of Closing Note. So the fact confessed need not to be proved, as a result of it, inquiry is promoted. On the other, if a confession is established, the fact confessed may become in fact spurious certificate, so other party may forget an aggressive activity for collecting evidences to the facts confessed. The reliability from other party should be protected.
Accordingly, a confessor is bound by it and can not freely retrieve it unlike simple facts. it is the binding to a party, self-binding. The effect of confession reaches to even the inquiry of high court. Additionally, the confession in justice is acknowledged only in the procedure to adopt Closing Note, and is not acknowledged in the procedure to adopt Attention to detect misconduct.
The necessary requirements to establish confessions can be summarized as follows ① a confess should be made on the concrete facts ② a confession should be a deposition done during defence or defence preparation procedure. additionally ③ a confession should be identical with
other party's assertion on the facts ④ a confession should be a deposition
to be disadvantageous for the confessor. In the above 4 requirements to be
a confession, in the light of interpretation, problematic issues are specially
① and ④. Regarding the essential condition of ①, there are issues about
whether the object of confession is limited only to key facts or to include
indirect fact and accessorial fact, and about whether those confessions on
right or legal relationships except for the above can be the object of
confession, Regarding the essential condition of ④, in case of
disadvantageous deposition to the confessor. what is an actual disadvantage
to the confessor.
In this regards, as the object of confession is a concrete fact, principally
a minor premise of legal syllogism, the existence, contents, interpretation
about a rule of thumb and legislation, that judiciary has to know well, can
not be a confession in justice though there could be some conflicts between
parties,
For the matter about what confession means, it goes without saying that
key fact can be an object of confession through the things that the
binding for confession is based on Closing note and it is reasonable to
apply Closing note to key fact at least. But a common view and a judicial
precedent negate the binding of indirect fact which needs confirmation on
the key facts, though both party's depositions are same. On the other hand,
the binding of confession is acknowledged by the petition through the
establishment of documentary evidence specially, which is accepted as a key
fact, among accessorial facts. But some theories claim strongly to
acknowledge the confessions for indirect facts and accessorial facts
recently.
So this study tries to define the concept and classification of key fact and indirect fact in advance, and the binding on the original intention of
confession for indirect fact, and the binding to the confessor for researching
the issues about whether the fact to be a object of confession is limited to
key fact or indirect fact is also included for the requirements to establish
confessions.
