Can contradictory statements made by opposite party in *two* different 498a police complaints be admitted in court as evidence?
Somewhere on internet, I read the following excerpt ...
"Pleadings like the complaint and the answer are not evidence. The standard practice is to conduct what is called discovery. You can ask written questions about the facts to support the allegations of the complaint, demand documents and take the depositions of the witnesses. The plaintiff is not necessarily obligated to proceed at trial with all of the claims, but you can have the witnesses and documentary evidence available at trial to disprove the claims."
If the contradictory statements in police complaints are not treated as evidence, then, what should be done to convert them into evidence admissible in court?
