2A:82-38 - Photographic, photostatic, etc., copies as competent evidence

2A:82-38.  Photographic, photostatic, etc., copies as competent evidence     If any business, institution, member of a profession or calling, or any department or agency of government, in the regular course of business or activity has kept or recorded any memorandum, writing, entry, print, representation or combination thereof, of any act, transaction, occurrence or event, and in the regular course of business has caused any or all of the same to be recorded, copied or reproduced by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, microcard, miniature photographic, or other process which accurately  reproduces or forms a durable medium for so reproducing the original, the  original may be destroyed in the regular course of business unless its  preservation is required by law.  Such reproduction, when satisfactorily  identified, is as admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial  or administrative proceeding whether the original is in existence or not and an  enlargement or facsimile of such reproduction is likewise admissible in  evidence if the original reproduction is in existence and available for  inspection under direction of court.  The introduction of a reproduced record,  enlargement or facsimile, does not preclude admission of the original.
