Evidentiary interpretation defines facts, relevance, documents, electronic records, and standards for proving, disproving, or leaving facts unproved.

Section 3 defines fact as perceptible matters, states or relations and conscious mental conditions, and treats facts as relevant where connected through prescribed modes of relevancy. Facts in issue are those necessarily determining a claimed or denied right, liability or disability. Documents include recorded matter on any substance, while evidence comprises witness statements and documents, including electronic records. Proof or disproof requires judicial belief or probability sufficient for a prudent person to act on existence or non-existence; neither state results in a fact being not proved.
