Precognition (Scots law)
text:
Precognition in Scots law is the practice of precognoscing a witness, that is the taking of a factual statement from witnesses by both prosecution and defence after indictment or claim but before trial. This is often undertaken by trainee lawyers or precognition officers employed by firms; anecdotal evidence suggests many of these are former police officers. This procedure is followed in both civil and criminal causes. The subsequent statement is generally inadmissible as evidence in the trial,
