Practice question
A proponent obtains conditional reception of a ledger on the express requirement that competent evidence establish both its author and its relation to the disputed branch. Later evidence establishes authorship but shows no connection to that branch. Counsel asks the court to treat good faith as the missing connection. Which is correct?
- Good faith does not complete the unmet branch-related foundation
- A sincere promise proves branch identity
- Authorship automatically establishes every unrelated connection
- Conditional reception is permanent regardless of its terms
- The court must presume every missing foundational fact
