How do documents end up being admitted as evidence? In Australian jurisdictions that follow the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules, there is, usually:
- Two (or more) parties
- An order for discovery (UCPR 21.2)
- A list of documents that the parties produce (UCPR 21.3)
- The production and inspection of documents (UCPR 21.10, 21.11)
- The (eventual) admission of documents (UCPR 17.4, 17.5)
