BSA Section 54 — Proof of facts by oral evidence

Summary

All facts, except the contents of documents, may be proved through oral evidence. This means that in a legal proceeding, a person can give spoken testimony to establish the truth of a fact, but the contents of a document cannot be proven this way and must be proven through the document itself.
