Regulation 27 Records

A record^f1 to which this regulation applies is admissible in any proceedings as evidence (or, in Scotland, sufficient evidence) of any fact stated in it to the same extent as oral evidence of that fact is admissible in those proceedings, subject to paragraph (3).

This regulation applies to a record maintained by the Secretary of State in connection with the Secretary of State’s functions under these Regulations.

A record is not admissible in accordance with this regulation unless the Secretary of State has authenticated it by providing a statement with the record that confirms it is or was held by the Secretary of State.
