Abstract: In the part regarding taking of evidence of the Austrian Code of Civil Procedure, one can find provisions referring to so called common pieces of evidence. In academic literature a general principle of right to provide evidence is derived therefrom according to which a party in a lawsuit is obliged to assist and support also the opposing party to a certain extent. One of the facts by which such duty to cooperate is imposed on the parties by procedural law are common pieces of evidence.
