The statement of Moxuan Liang is admissible under s 3 Evidence Amendment Act (No 2) 1980 because Liang was the maker with personal knowledge and is unavailable as he is outside New Zealand and it is not reasonably practicable to obtain his evidence given the absence of any contact information or viable lines of inquiry; the statement also qualifies as a business record, and any weight and challenges to identity are matters for the substantive hearing.
