Practice question
Two regular trial branches apply the same Section3 rule. One excludes an exhibit because an established privilege applies; the other admits an unprivileged exhibit. Does the different outcome alone prove nonuniformity?
- Only admission is compatible with uniformity
- Yes; uniformity requires identical results for every exhibit
- Every exclusion repeals Section2
- No; the same rule may yield different results on materially different facts
- Only the parties’ names determine the result
