Spanish term
ratificar las pruebas
"RESULTANDO: que en cuanto a pruebas la parte actora ratificó las pruebas documentales que fueran admitidas con la presentación de la demanda consistentes en..."
I'm no legal expert but I'm not sure why "la parte actora" esté "ratificando" sus propias pruebas...se me hace que los términos que he visto para su traducción, "ratify, confirm, affirm, approve, verify, uphold" no encajan aquí...?
Tal vez estoy equivocada.
I'm thinking it means "the claimant submitted/presented" his documentary evidence? Can ratificar be used in that sense?
¡¡Gracias de antemano!!

Real and demonstrative evidence are two of the four main types of evidence in a ... Demonstrative evidence;; Documentary evidence; and; Testimonial evidence.
Evidence: Definition and Types
Evidence is used at trials to prove or disprove certain facts that would tend to show whether something was true or not. There are four types evidence by which facts can be proven or disproven at trial which include:
Real evidence;
Demonstrative evidence;
Documentary evidence; and
Testimonial evidence.
Not all of these types of evidence carry the same weight at trial. For instance, real evidence may be more believable than demonstrative evidence. It's the jury's role to weigh each type of evidence and make a determination as to the believability of the evidence presented.

: I don't think this is right. It says ratifying the documents, not the evidence.

(civil) confirm (for re-use ) the items of evidence (initially led in a complaint moving to claim)
I or we could do with more context - civil or criminal, a basic question as usual - namely who is the actora - a female plaintiff in a divorce or employment / labo(u)r complaint going from a labo(u)r tribunal to a court of law where the evidence initially submitted - perhaps a long time ago - would not be automatically re-usable on Cuba or Isla de la Juventud.
If the actora is a corporate claimant/s, then their Counsel may not automatically give notice 'ratifying' proofs (NB proof of evidence in the UK is taken from a witness in a criminal context only), namely if they are out-of-date, admitidas a trámite > leave to proceed after a long time is granted or if there is a change of mind or circumstances.
Obiter, the 'ratification' - as some informed readers will know - might stumble in the Anglo-Am. law of evidence at the hurdle of the 'rule against narrative' - to wit, the prohibition on litigants repeating their allegations umpteen times to contrive undeserved credibility.

: I wish I could make head or tail of this, because it may be right. In particular, I don't know what you mean by "led".

Thanks for the chance to explain 1. I think it means plaintiff re-adopts evidence once submitted, adduced or pr/offered & 2. the latter too long to fit in the answer box, so lead used, as in English Common Law courts & legal drafting: pls C note added.

Reference comments
Ratificar las Pruebas
So, to substantiate a claim is to make it solid or believable. If the evidence given in support of an argument is weak and unconvincing, that evidence can be described as insubstantial.

If I´m right, "ratificar" would then mean "solicitar" (formally request).
