Article 86. Duty to present written evidence

Citizens and organizations that do not participate in the case and do not have the opportunity to present written evidence required by the court, shall be obliged to notify the court by stating the reason.

If a person from whom the discovery of the written evidence is demanded by court, has no possibility to present it or to present it within the deadline established by court, he/she shall be obliged to notify the court thereof with the indication of the reasons within five days from the date of receipt of court inquiry.

In case of failure to notify, as well as in the event of invalidity of the reasons for waiving presentation of written evidence, the court shall impose a fine on the liable officials of the organizations, as well as on citizens in line with the procedure established by Article 146 of this Code.

The imposition of the fine shall not release the respective officials and citizens from the obligation to submit the written evidence required by the court.
