Simple English definitions for legal terms

documentary evidence

Read a random definition: political gerrymandering

A quick definition of documentary evidence:

Documentary evidence refers to any paper document that is presented in a trial. This can include things like written documents, photographs, computer printouts, and audio or video recordings. For the evidence to be allowed in court, it must be relevant and authenticated. In the past, only the original document was allowed, but now duplicates can be used as evidence.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Documentary evidence refers to any document presented in a trial that is on paper. This can include writings, documents, blueprints, photographs, computer printouts, and more. In order for documentary evidence to be admissible in court, it must be relevant and authenticated.

For example, in the case of Phillips v. Taco Bell Corp., the plaintiff presented a photograph of a wet floor in the restaurant where they slipped and fell. This photograph was considered documentary evidence and was used to support the plaintiff's claim.

Another example is the case of Sandles v. Magna Legal Services, LLC, where the plaintiff presented a ledger showing the hours they worked for the defendant. This ledger was considered documentary evidence and was used to support the plaintiff's claim for unpaid wages.

These examples illustrate how documentary evidence can be used in court to support a party's claim or defense. However, the evidence must be relevant and authenticated in order to be admissible.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
