Law/Patents - Law (general) / appeal
Spanish term or phrase: susceptible de ser sometido a
In this text, the appellant alleges the infringement of presumption of innocence however, the court has material evidence that is lawful and valid in its production and therefore does not support the appellant's allegation.

Below is the context in which the phrase appears:

Baste, para dar respuesta a tal alegación, recordar cómo la función casacional encomendada a esta
Sala, respecto de las posibles vulneraciones del derecho a la presunción de inocencia, consagrado en el artículo 24.2 de nuestra Constitución, ha de limitarse a la comprobación de tres únicos aspectos, a saber: a) que el Tribunal juzgador dispuso, en realidad, de material probatorio susceptible de ser sometido a valoración; b) que ese material probatorio, además de existente, era lícito en su producción y válido, por tanto, a efectos de acreditación de los hechos; y c) que los razonamientos a través de los cuales alcanza el Juez de instancia su convicción, debidamente expuestos en la Sentencia, son bastantes para ello, desde el punto de vista racional y lógico, y justifican, por tanto, la suficiencia de dichos elementos de prueba.



'The court had material evidence capable of being submitted for assessment/ necessary for assessment'

Thank you all

English translation:admissible
Explanation:
seems to me that "admissible" is a basic legal term that covers the long-winded Spanish term.

Black's Law Dictionary
admissible (ad-mis-;l-b"l), adj. (17c) 1. Capable of being
legally admitted; allowable; permissible <admissible
evidence>.

admissible evidence. (18c) Evidence that is relevant and
is of such a character (e.g., not unfairly prejudicial,
based on hearsay, or privileged) that the court should
receive it. - Also termed competent evidence; proper
evidence; legal evidence.

Example sentence(s):
  • admissible evidence. n. evidence which the trial judge finds is useful in helping the trier of fact (a jury if there is a jury, otherwise the judge), and which cannot be objected to on the basis that it is irrelevant, immaterial, or violates the rules...
  • Admissible evidence, in a court of law, is any testimonial, documentary, or tangible evidence that may be introduced to a factfinder—usually a judge or jury—
