Section 145 - Admissibility of micro films, facsimile copies of documents and computer printouts as documents and as evidence

Admissibility of electronic and reproduced documents: recognised as evidence without originals, subject to prescribed certification.

Section 145 treats microfilms, facsimile copies, computer-produced printouts, and electronically stored information (including hard copies) as documents admissible in proceedings without the original to prove contents or facts. A certificate identifying the document, describing its production and device particulars will be evidence of those matters and may be stated to the best of the certifier's knowledge and belief.
