SCRE 1006

The contents of voluminous writings, recordings, or photographs which cannot conveniently be

examined in court may be presented in the form of a chart, summary, or calculation, provided the

underlying data are admissible into evidence. The originals, or duplicates, shall be made available for

examination or copying, or both, by other parties at reasonable time and place. The court may order

that they be produced in court.

Note:

This rule is identical to the federal rule except for the language "provided the

underlying data are admissible into evidence" and is consistent with South Carolina

case law. Adamson v. Marianne Fabrics, Inc., 301 S.C. 204, 391 S.E.2d 249 (1990); Zemp

Constr. Co. v. Harmon Bros. Constr. Co., 225 S.C. 361, 82 S.E.2d 531 (1954); Crowley v.

Spivey, 285 S.C. 397, 329 S.E.2d 774 (Ct. App.1985); Butler v. Sea Pines Plantation Co.,

282 S.C. 113, 317 S.E.2d 464 (Ct. App.1984). It should be noted that the case of Peagler

v. Atlantic Coast Line R.R., 234 S.C. 140, 107 S.E.2d 15 (1959), is inconsistent with these

prior cases and has been effectively overruled.
