Spanish term

libres de excepción

Spanish to English Law/Patents Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs
In a recognition of paternity issued in the Dominican Republic, the witnesses are described as "libres de excepción". I've seen "testigos de excepción" used to describe special/expert witnesses before, so does this mean simply that they're ordinary witnesses?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks Martin.
Martin Boyd (asker) Nov 23, 2009:
The full sentence, in relation to the declaration of recognition is as follows: "HECHO en mi oficina en la fecha indicada, en presencia de los testigos, Señores Fulano y Fulano, mayores de edad, dominicanos, de este domicilio y residencia, libres de excepción, quienes después de lectura aprobada, firman junto con el compareciente."

Could it mean there is no legal reason why they shouldn't serve as witnesses? Could we have the full context?
