Overview
Required Documents
Elements of an Incident
- Date of Event:
- Time of Event:
- People Involved:
- Location of Events (Place):
- Summary of Interactions (Pleaded Facts):
- Documents or Other Related Evidence:
- The above six elements are required to describe a single incident within a series of events. When I say the incident, I am referring to an event that is restricted to a single point in time. Eg.. eating dinner at night is a single incident within a day. An incident can also be thought of as a single scene in a movie or television show, all the elements of an incident must be present in an explanation of a single incident. If more then one period of time is involved then there is by necessity more then one incident.
Critical Concepts in Timeline Drafting
- A Cornerstone Event, is a single event that sets in motion the events that playout in the proceeding.
- Use of Evidence in the storyline, if you want to include a piece of evidence in a hearing you must be able to include the document in the timeline of events.
