Primary text

If the defendant denies the claim and evidence testifies against him, the record must detail that the claimant alleged such and such, the defendant denied it, the judge asked the claimant if he had evidence, the claimant presented it, and the judge heard it. Furthermore, the claimant requested a record of these events, and the judge complied, noting the time. Here, it is mandatory to specify that this occurred 'in the sitting of his judgment and jurisdiction,' unlike in cases of admission, because evidence can only be heard in the judicial session.
