Holding

The court overrules the objection and admits P.M.F.I. 23 in evidence as plaintiff’s exhibit No. 23.

Facts

The plaintiff Dominic Omenye sought to produce statements sent by Kencem to his firm, Omenye & Associates, as exhibit number 23. The defendant raised an objection that the plaintiff was not the maker of the documents.

Issues

  1. Whether the plaintiff is the maker of the documents
  2. Whether the maker, Kencem, can be called to testify

Reasoning

The court states that the statements marked as P.M.F.I. No. 23 originated from Kencem and that Kencem no longer exists. The court rules that since the maker cannot be called to testify because he cannot be found, the document can be produced and admitted.

Outcome

The plaintiff's objection is overruled and P.M.F.I. 23 is admitted in evidence.

Orders

  • P.M.F.I. 23 is admitted in evidence as plaintiff’s exhibit No. 23
