Article 68. Evaluation of evidence of the Civil Procedure Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan

     1. Each piece of evidence is subject to assessment, taking into account its relevance, admissibility, and reliability, and all the evidence collected together is sufficient to resolve a civil case.

     2. In accordance with Article 16 of this Code, a judge evaluates evidence according to his inner conviction.

     3. The circumstances shall be considered established if one party does not dispute and accepts the evidence presented by the other party, or the contesting of evidence does not directly follow from the defendant's objection or the plaintiff's objection to the defendant's arguments.

     4. In the case of a petition for falsification submitted by the other party of evidence, the person who made such a statement is obliged to indicate the signs indicating the falsification of evidence.

     If the person who submitted the evidence recognizes the claim of its falsification as justified, the court excludes the evidence from the list of admissible and resolves the case on the basis of other evidence.

     5. Circumstances cannot be considered established if only copies of documents are provided to confirm them, when the need to present the original follows from the requirements of the law.

     The court also cannot consider the circumstances proved, which are confirmed only by a copy of a document or other written evidence when challenging its content, if:

     1) the original document has been lost and has not been handed over to the court;

     2) the copies of this document submitted by each of the disputing parties are not identical to each other;

     3) it is impossible to establish the content of the original document with the help of other evidence.

     6. The totality of evidence is considered sufficient to resolve a civil case if admissible and reliable evidence has been collected that indisputably confirms the circumstances relevant to the case and has not been refuted by the other party.
