Practice question
Two payroll documents are offered on a claim for several unpaid periods. One proves only an unrelated year; the other proves that the relevant payroll advice was received by the crediting bank for the disputed months. A party says document quantity alone controls substantial evidence. Which is best?
- The thicker bundle automatically wins
- Every old record proves every later payment
- A tribunal must count pages and ignore relevance
- The evidence must be matched to the actual periods and payment issue; relevance and probative adequacy matter more than page count
- Any contrary bank record must be ignored
