IEA Section 89 — Presumption as to due execution, etc. of documents not produced

Summary

If a party asks the court to order another party to produce a specific document, and that party is given proper notice but still does not produce it, the court will assume that the document was properly signed, stamped, and witnessed as required by law. This means the court treats the missing document as if it was legally valid and complete.

Official Text

The Court shall presume that every document, called for and not produced after notice to produce, was attested, stamped and executed in the manner required by law.
