Summary
A document or electronic record that is wholly or partly created by forgery is treated as a forged document or electronic record. It applies whenever any part of a paper or digital file is falsified. That designation means the item will be regarded as forged for criminal proceedings and evidence rules.
Example
Diya gets a PDF bank statement from her tenant that shows higher rent payments after someone altered the file. Because part of the PDF was created by forgery, it will be treated as a forged electronic record and can be relied on as evidence in a forgery case.
