IEA Section 51 — Grounds of opinion, when relevant

Summary

If the opinion of a living person is considered important in a legal matter, then the reasons or basis for that opinion are also considered important. This means that when someone's opinion is allowed as evidence, you can also look at why they hold that opinion.

Official Text

Whenever the opinion of any living person is relevant, the grounds on which such opinion is based are also relevant.
