Decisory oath : ウィキペディア英語版 | Decisory oath
According to John Henry Merryman, "The Decisory Oath worked in the following way: Party A could put Party B on his oath as to a fact at issue that was within Party B's knowledge. If Party B refused to swear, the fact was taken as conclusively proved against him. If Party B swore, the fact was taken as conclusively proved in his favor."〔John Henry Merryman, ''The Civil Law Tradition'' (Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1969): 126, as cited in Immanuel Kant, ''The Metaphysics of Morals,'' ed. Mary Gregor (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1996): 83n25 (emphasis added)〕 Mary Gregor explains that this procedure was "designed to protect the judge from threats from the wealthy and the powerful."〔Kant, ''loc. cit.''〕 ==Notes==
