verminderter Bewährungsgrund Explanation: As 'probation' in this case is referring to a prison sentence, I assume the 'probationary value' refers to items that can be used to strengthen a case for a probation. |

verminderter Beweiswert/Beweiskraft Explanation: Because this is apparently a civil case and the "reduced probationary value" pertains to a sworn statement, I suspect that the author of your text simply confused the terms "probative" and "probationary". I assume the author means to say that the court did not give the sworn statement the full probative value it deserves (being just another evidentiary means) according to procedural law. professional experience |

verminderte Beweisführung Explanation: I found in the Gr.Muret-Sanders that probationary can be "bes. Scot. Beweisführung," etc. and like the second person who answered your question stated, the context of the sentence is a sworn declaration. Alone given the word declaration, I tend to think that this is not american English, where one would say "sworn statement." Thus, it doesn't necessarily have to be a misspelling of the word "probatory"--which is rarely used for the word probative--probative weight or value--Beweiskraft. It just means that the court doesn't give much weight to the Beweisführung on the grounds of this sworn statement. So, that's my two cents, if it still helps. Good luck, Lis Gro�e Muret-Sanders |
