    Scanned copies in Part C are secondary documents, not documents produced by a computer; Plaintiff failed to satisfy statutory conditions for admitting secondary evidence (no s90A certificate and no applicable s65 exception or s32 proof); the Rules of Court cannot override the Evidence Act; therefore the 10 documents in Part C are inadmissible and, as the agreement (key document) is excluded, the Plaintiff's claim is dismissed.

    • Admissibility of documents
    • Computer‑generated evidence (s90a)
