Article 67. Obligation to Prove

The persons participating in the case must prove the factual circumstances to which they refer as the grounds for their claims or objections, unless another procedure for the distribution of evidentiary duties in administrative cases is provided for by this Code.

The applicant, to the extent possible, is obliged to participate in the collection of evidence. The applicant is obliged to prove the amount of damage caused to him.

The burden of proof rests with administrative bodies and officials whose decisions, actions (inactions) are being challenged. Administrative bodies and officials are also required to confirm the facts to which they refer as the basis for their objections. These persons can only refer to the grounds that guided them when making a decision or taking an action.

If a party retains the evidence requested by the court and does not submit it at the request of the court within the time period established by the court, it is assumed that the information contained in it is directed against the interests of this party and is considered recognized by it.
