Serbian term or phrase: Navedene cinjenice licno su nam poznate
Radi se o izjavi grupe gradjana u kojoj se tvrdi da XY nije osudjivan.

Sigurno postoji neki ustaljeni prevod ove fraze, pa molim kolege, koji redovno "barataju" ovakvim dokumentima, da mi pomognu.

< Cornell University Law School, Legal Information Institute citing the U.S. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure re affidavits or declarations + personal knowledge

http://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcp/rule_56

(4) Affidavits or Declarations. An affidavit or declaration used to support or oppose a motion must be made on personal knowledge, set out facts that would be admissible in evidence, and show that the affiant or declarant is competent to testify on the matters stated.

9. I have personal knowledge of the facts and have studied or reviewed the conclusions which support my statements in paragraphs 5, 7, 9, 19, 20, 22, and 23 ....

Affidavits/Declarations on Summary Judgment — Requirement of Personal Knowledge

... Reference to corporate documents, which can be affixed, are much safer because the declaration has the benefit of authenticating the documents which, in turn, beef up the declaration. A safer introductory sentence for the declaration would appear to be: "the facts set forth in this Declaration are based on my personal knowledge, including review of corporate records, true and correct copies of which are attached.”
