Evidence Definitions: Facts, documents, electronic records, and proof are governed by statutory concepts of relevance and evidentiary assessment.

Section 3 defines facts, relevancy, facts in issue, documents, evidence, and the standards of proof. Facts include perceptible conditions and conscious mental states, while facts in issue determine asserted or denied rights, liabilities or disabilities. Evidence comprises oral witness statements and documentary evidence, including electronic records. Proof and disproof depend on belief or probability sufficient for a prudent person to act upon the relevant supposition; a fact is not proved when it is neither proved nor disproved.
