Presumption of document authenticity enables admission without separate verification where foreign law treats evidence as admissible.
Where a document purports to be admissible under the law in force in England or Ireland without proof of its seal, stamp, signature, or the signatory's judicial or official character, the court must presume those authenticating features to be genuine. It must also presume that the signatory held the claimed character when signing. The document is admissible for the same purpose for which it would be admissible in England or Ireland.
