Definition
Foreign documents. The admissibility in evidence in the United Kingdom of entries contained in public registers in other countries is governed by the Evidence (Foreign Dominions and Colonial) Documents Act, 1923 (24 & 24 Geo. 5, c. 4). Orders in Council may be made under s. 1 of the Act recognizing public registers in other countries (which expression includes any British Colony or Protectorate) if desirable in the interests of reciprocity.
