I believe that hearsay is inadmissible as evidence in court even when it's written.

- monetus 1y agoContemporaneous notes are used in courts a lot though, aren't they?
- bumby 1y agoYes, so is oral testimony. That doesn’t make them hearsay.
- bumby 1y agoNot sure why this was downvoted. Written notes can be hearsay. Contrary to the GPs opinion, the medium of transmission is not what distinguishes a statement as hearsay.
- eadler 1y agoYeah. Hearsay is an out of court statement provided to show the proof a matter. It has little to do with oral vs non oral. There are also exceptions, exceptions to the exceptions and so on.
