Relevancy of statements as to any law contained in law books including electronic or digital form
AI Assist
Summary
When a court must form an opinion about the law of any country, statements of that law contained in books or official publications, including in electronic or digital form, are admissible as relevant evidence. Reports of foreign court rulings published in such books or electronic reports are also relevant.
Example
Ravi sues a supplier in India but the contract says German law governs. The Indian court must decide what German law says. A book published by the German government explaining that law, or an electronic report of German court rulings, is admissible as relevant evidence to show the law.
