Admissibility of evidence depends on demonstrated relevance and, where required, prior proof of foundational facts.

Admissibility of evidence is determined by whether a proposed fact, if proved, would be relevant; the party offering it may be required to explain that relevance. Where admissibility depends on proof of another fact, the foundational fact must generally be established first, unless an accepted undertaking permits later proof. Where relevance depends on another alleged fact, the Judge may determine the order of proof, including for proof of death, loss of an original, property identity, and intermediate connecting facts.
