Principle of Relevancy and Admissibility of Documentary Evidence
The law of evidence, also known as the rules of evidence, encompasses the rules and legal principles that govern the proof of facts in a legal proceeding, be it civil or criminal. The principles of relevancy and admissibility of documentary evidence are two important topics under the broad subject of the law of evidence. The principle of relevancy and admissibility of documentary evidence is not as simple as is imagined. The determination of the relevancy of facts and the admissibility of documentary evidence are governed by complex rules and procedures. It is one of the most difficult procedural conundrums for legal practitioners and law students because their understanding usually poses some challenges. This book is therefore designed to provide a readable and practical guide to understanding the principles of relevancy and admissibility of documentary evidence under the Brunei Evidence Act, Cap. 108.
