Practice question
Two admitted sales databases contain different totals. One system has documented validation and audit trails; the other imported unverified figures through software with an acknowledged calculation bug. Counsel argues that admission requires equal weight. Which is best?
- The court may give different weight after evaluating the systems and source information
- Admission makes both totals conclusively correct
- The larger number must prevail
- Electronic records must always be discarded when they conflict
- A bug can never affect evidentiary weight
