Regulation 37 Evidence of system-entries

(1) Subject to the provisions of this regulation, a copy or reproduction of a system-entry or the relevant part of it in a legible form shall in all legal proceedings be received as prima facie evidence of such entry or record and of the matters and transactions therein entered or recorded.

(2) A copy or reproduction of a system-entry shall not be received in evidence under this regulation unless it be first proved that the system-entry was at the time of the making of the entry or record one of the ordinary entries or records of the operator or system-participant, as applicable, and that the entry or record was made, supplied or stored in the usual and ordinary course of business, and that the system-entry is in the custody or control of such person. Such proof may be given by a director, secretary or officer of such person, and may be given orally or by an affidavit sworn before any commissioner or person authorised to take affidavits.

(3) A copy or reproduction of a system-entry which was originally made in legible form shall not be received in evidence under this regulation unless it be further proved that the copy or reproduction has been examined with the original system-entry and is correct. Such proof shall be given by some person who has examined the copy or reproduction with the original entry, and may be given either orally or by an affidavit sworn before any commissioner or person authorised to take affidavit.
