contents Mechanisms of elimination of undesired evidence from criminal trial: a comparative approach Hanna Kuczyńska Derecho rules of evidence Exclusionary rules admissibility of evidence comparative criminal procedure This text presents two models of elimination of undesired evidence that operate in common law and continental law states. It analyses the mechanisms of blocking information from becoming evidence in a criminal trial which can be defined as the procedural instruments (solutions) adopted in a given model of criminal trial that allow for assessment and eventual elimination of inadmissible evidence as deemed to be undesired in the process of fact-finding. On the basis of a „model approach” it will be shown how such mechanisms of elimination (or blocking) of undesired evidence function in the United States and England, Germany, France, Poland and Italy. Also the stage of elimination will be analysed, as well as the type of procedure of applying a blockade. It will be explained in what ways the atomistic and holistic assessment of evidence work and what consequences they have. The last part of the text will show how the rationale for elimination of evidence in the form of illegality, unreliability or relevance, may result in various consequences depending on the seriousness of violation of law. These elements of analysis will allow to examine whether the continental and common law models of elimination of undesired evidence are coherent and effective and whether they allow for achieving the assumed goal of eliminating of undesired evidence. In the conclusions it will be shown that the final arbiter of admissibility of evidence in both procedural models is a judge and how this solution allows for weighting legally protected interests in every case. The argumentation presented in the article will also lead to an observation that in the continental model of elimination of undesired evidence it cannot be said that there is a full-fledged “mechanism” of blocking information from becoming evidence in a criminal trial. 2021 artículo científico 2525-510X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=673972096002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6739/673972096002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6739/673972096002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6739/673972096002/673972096002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/6739/673972096002/movil 10.22197/rbdpp.v7i1.473 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6739 Revista Brasileira de Direito Processual Penal application/pdf Instituto Brasileiro de Direito Processual Penal Revista Brasileira de Direito Processual Penal (Brasil) Num.1 Vol.7
