Tim,(posted 8454 days ago)Yes, this issue of original documents is a very important one. I understand that in at least one case which is relevant to this discussion, the defendant's counsel failed to object to the use of copy documents in court. (One often finds that defendants' counsel fail to do quite a lot of things. It is as though the lenders cannot ever be wrong! I hear too often of solicitors actually encouraging clients to settle on unproven 'debts'.)
Anyway, I think it would be very good to hear more opinions on the use of original/copy documents in court. Could be a very useful thread.
