(2) Where in a trial a statement contained in a document is admissible in evidence under section 14 or section 15, it may be proved by the production of that document or, whether or not that document is in existence, by the production of a copy of that document or of the material part thereof. (3) Where in a trial a statement contained in a document is admitted in evidence by virtue of section 14 or section 15, the court may draw any reasonable inference from the circumstances in which the statement was made or otherwise came into being or from any other circumstances, including the form and contents of the document in which the statement is contained. (4) In estimating the weight, if any, to be attached to a statement admitted in evidence under section 14 or section 15, regard shall be had to all the circumstances from which any inference can reasonably be drawn as to the accuracy or otherwise of the statement and, in particular (a) in the case of a statement falling within section 14, to the question whether or not the person who supplied the information from which the record containing the statement was compiled did so contemporaneously with the occurrence or existence of the fact dealt with in that information, and to the question whether or not that person, or any person concerned with compiling or keeping the record containing the statement, had any incentive to conceal or misrepresent the facts; and (b) in the case of a statement falling within section 15, to the question whether or not the information which the information contained in the statement reproduces or is derived from was supplied to the relevant computer, or recorded for the purposes of being supplied By Laws.Africa and contributors.
