    This document discusses exceptions to the general rule that an original document must be produced in court. It lists four cases where secondary evidence may be admitted instead of an original document: (1) when the original was lost or destroyed without bad faith, (2) when the original is in the custody of the opposing party who does not produce it after notice, (3) when the original consists of numerous documents and establishing the general result would be too time consuming, and (4) when the original is a public record held by a public officer or recorded in a public office.

    Section 3. Original document must be produced; exceptions.

    — When the
    subject of inquiry is the contents of a document, no evidence shall be
    admissible other than the original document itself, except in the following
    cases:

    (a) When the original has been lost or destroyed, or cannot


    be produced in court, without bad faith on the part of the
    offeror;

    (b) When the original is in the custody or under the control


    of the party against whom the evidence is offered, and the
    latter fails to produce it after reasonable notice;

    (c) When the original consists of numerous accounts or other


    documents which cannot be examined in court without great
    loss of time and the fact sought to be established from them
    is only the general result of the whole; and

    (d) When the original is a public record in the custody of a


    public officer or is recorded in a public office.
