английский => русский Право/Патенты Юриспруденция (в целом) Pleading guilty to the charge

A Newton hearing is a comparatively modern legal procedure used where the two sides offer such conflicting evidence that a judge sitting alone (that is, without a jury) tries to ascertain which party is telling the truth. They are generally used when a defendant pleads guilty to an offence (as in R v Newton itself), but there are factual issues (relating, for example, to the appropriate sentence) that need to be resolved between the prosecution and defence.

The name stems from a 1983 case R v Newton.

Слушания по Ньютону would sound a bit odd and misleading - any ideas ?

Thank you !
