The Plaintiff claims that the Defendant entered into a loan agreement for 10,000 Baht. The Defendant stated that he agreed to the loan due to the absence of collateral. The Plaintiff indicated that the Defendant had paid 2,000 Baht of the total loan amount. The Defendant plans to offer evidence supporting a claim of 10,000 Baht. The central question is whether this evidence can be presented and, if so, the reason for it. The Defendant s presentation of evidence aims to show the existence of a debt under the loan agreement. This evidence does not concern the amount of the debt, nor does it prove that no debt exists. Therefore, the Defendant s presentation of evidence is not an attempt to change the previously presented evidence. The Defendant is allowed to call witnesses and present documents (Document 73/2518).
