Law of Evidence

1. A claim of forgery may be made at any stage of the case by a motion made before the court or by a motion entered into the hearing records; the claim shall specify the parts alleged to be forged, evidence thereof, and the authentication procedures sought for establishing the claim. 2. If the claim of forgery is material to the case and the facts and documents of the case are not adequate to convince the court as to the authenticity or forgery of the document, and if the court decides that the authentication procedure requested by the claimant of forgery is material to the case and admissible, it shall order such authentication. 3. An order to investigate a claim of forgery by comparison or witness testimony, or by both, shall be issued pursuant to the rules and procedures stipulated in this Part.
