Law of Evidence

1. The court shall schedule a hearing for the litigants to appear and present their documents for comparison and to agree on the documents suitable for comparison. If the litigant upon whom the burden of proof falls fails to appear without an acceptable justification, the court may decide to forfeit his right to use the documents as evidence. If the adverse litigant fails to appear, the court may decide to deem such documents valid for comparison. 2. The litigant who challenges the authenticity of the document shall appear in person to give a specimen of his handwriting on the scheduled date. If he fails to appear without an acceptable justification or if he appears but refuses to give a specimen of his handwriting, the court may deem the document valid.
