The challenged documents and device were inadmissible: the defendants failed to establish the reliability or maker unavailability required by s18 Evidence Act; the probative value was minimal while the risk of unfair prejudice and needless prolongation under s8 was high; combined with late disclosure and procedural prejudice, the evidence was excluded and the second supplementary brief not read.
