Rogatoire opdracht

Een rogatoire opdracht is een schriftelijk verzoek van de ene gerechtelijke instantie aan de andere om een specifieke onderzoeksmaatregel uit te voeren binnen haar rechtsgebied. Het begrip is vooral bekend uit grensoverschrijdende strafzaken, maar bestaat evengoed in een nationale civiele context. In het verleden konden rechtbanken elkaar niet direct contacteren en zonden ze dergelijke verzoeken via diplomatieke kanalen, wat vaak grote vertraging opleverde.

Letters Rogatory Definition: A request of a judge in one jurisdiction to a court of another, to conduct some litigation-related task such as process service or the examination of a specific witness.

Also known also as rogatory letters, letters of request or even commissions to collect evidence.

"Letters rogatory are sometimes known as letters of request. They constitute a request from one judge to another asking for the examination of a witness by commission in the jurisdiction which is foreign to the requesting court."

"... letters rogatory are defined as ... a commission from one judge to another requesting him to examine a witness. In the terminology of international law this expression is used as a synonym for what in our law are known as letters of request addressed to a foreign court.

"Letters rogatory are the medium, in effect, whereby one country, speaking through one of its courts, requests another country, acting through its own courts and by methods of court procedure peculiar thereto and entirely within the latter's control, to assist the administration of justice in the former country; such request being made, and being usually granted, by reason of the comity existing between nations in ordinary peaceful times."
