Subscribing Witness’ Testimony Unnecessary
The testimony of a subscribing witness is not necessary to authenticate a writing unless
required by the laws of the jurisdiction whose laws govern the validity of the writing.
History
(Federal Rule Identical.) COMMITTEE COMMENT The Committee finds that the Federal rules in this area are for the most part an accurate rep- resentation of Colorado case law, statutes, and the Rules of Procedure. The Committee opinion is that the rules as adopted provide a more flexible guide to evidentiary problems relating to authentication and identification and thereby avoid the necessity of the search for a ‘‘case in point.’’ The rules would cover a number of cases and situations arising in trial, not cur- rently reported in case law.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
