Practice question: Use, Effect, and Admissibility of Evidence Taken Abroad

Multiple Choice Medium Jurisprudence

Practice question

Assume the Hague Evidence Convention is in force between the relevant States and A.M.25-02-17-SC applies. A company director gave evidence abroad while in that role and later resigned. All other Section18 conditions are met. Does resignation alone erase the time-of-taking category under paragraph(b)?
  1. No; the relevant status existed when the evidence was taken
  2. Yes; resignation retroactively erases the testimony
  3. Yes; only present directors can ever qualify
  4. Only the company’s stock price matters
  5. Only the witness’s current address matters
