What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon
Ok, so I'm old and senile, LOL. There is a two word legal term which represents the fact that if a party destroys or otherwise refuses to turn over evidence, the judge will instruct the jury that the evidence must be considered damning to the withholding party. I'm stubbing my toe on Google.
What is that legal term, please?
Thanks!
PS I'm not looking for "spoilation." I'm looking for the term which is two words and gives the judge and the aggrieved party the right to an assumption that the evidence would have aided the offended party.
