The default rule for the introduction of evidence at trial is that it must be given in person by a witness present in the courtroom, and available for cross-examination by parties adverse in interest to the party calling that witness. However, there are occasions where evidence can go in in an alternate manner. This presentation discusses some of the exceptions allowed by the Alberta Rules of Court.
This on-demand program was originally presented as an in-person program titled Evidence Refresher on April 23, 2026. Total running time is 33 minutes.
