Admissibility of other evidence of contents
The original is not required, and other evidence of the contents of a writing,
recording, or photograph is admissible if:
(1) Originals lost or destroyed. — All originals are lost or have been destroyed,
unless the proponent lost or destroyed them in bad faith; or
(2) Original not obtainable. — No original can be obtained by any available
judicial process or procedure; or
(3) Original in possession of opponent. — At a time when an original was under
the control of the party against whom offered, he was put on notice, by the
pleadings or otherwise, that the contents would be a subject of proof at the hearing,
and he does not produce the original at the hearing; or
(4) Collateral matters. — The writing, recording, or photograph is not closely
related to a controlling issue.

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.
