Palm Finance Corp. v. Parallel Media LLC
Annotate this Case
Palm filed suit against Parallel to enforce a judgment obtained in the Senior Courts of England and Wales. At issue on appeal was the admissibility of a document titled Final Costs Certificate.
The Court of Appeal held that, without supporting witness testimony to authenticate it, the trial court rightly admitted the Final Costs Certificate under Evidence Code section 1452, subdivision (c). The court explained that, because the seal on this document purports to be of an agency of a nation recognized by the executive power of the United States, subdivision (c) of section 1452 creates a presumption this seal is genuine and its use is authorized.
