Practice question
A party offers a purported signed receipt to prove payment. Its opponent specifically disputes execution. Counsel produces no witness who saw execution, no evidence of genuine handwriting and no other execution evidence, insisting a typed author’s name is enough. Which is best?
- The asserted genuineness requires an adequate authentication foundation
- A typed name always proves genuine execution
- Counsel’s insistence substitutes for evidence
- Every unnotarized receipt is void for every purpose
- Disputed execution automatically proves payment
