Canon 1608. §1 To give any judgement, the judge must have in his mind moral certainty about the matter to be decided in the judgement.
§2 The judge must derive this certainty from the acts of the case and from the proofs.
§3 The judge must conscientiously weigh the evidence, with due regard for the provisions of law about the efficacy of certain evidence.
§4 A judge who cannot arrive at such certainty is to pronounce that the right of the plaintiff is not established and is to find for the respondent except in a case which enjoys the favour of law, when he is to pronounce in its favour.
