Presumption as to collections of laws and reports of decisions

Courts will presume genuine any book printed or published under the authority of a country's government that claims to contain that country's laws, and any book that claims to contain reports of that country's court decisions. When such a book is produced as evidence, the court will treat it as authentic without requiring separate proof of its origin.

Priya produces a printed book labeled as published by a foreign government that contains that country's statutes. The court will accept the book as genuine evidence of those laws and will not usually ask for additional proof of publication.
