Hi there,
I am self-representing, and looking for some help from others on this site.
Firstly- I am trying to determine the best way to document facebook posts made by the ex and her friend. These posts are highly relevant to upcoming proceedings, and important that they are made admissible as evidence. I have done the legal research, and there is sufficient precedence to use the posts. I will be filing the print outs of these posts in a Request to Admit, but it is a high conflict situation, and expect the evidence to be denied, leaving me to prove it's existence.
Anyone have any real-life experience with this in court, and how did you/ your lawyer handle it? I have done screen shots, taken actual photos of my screen, and printed out the pages. Thinking of having a notary print off and certify copies of the pages maybe? My concern is the Canada Evidence Act - it seems to be a pretty tall order proving the authenticity of these posts to the letter of the act. Any experiences with this in court?
As well, getting ready to motion for an order for questioning of non-parties. I want to do the questioning myself. (There are a few people I need to get to answer questions on record before trial, because I expect their answers to change once disclosure is complete and they "see my hand". Anyone out there done this? I am looking for a facility where the party can be sworn in, recording done, and afterwords the transcript and certification of the transcript. Any advice? Has anyone heard of companies out there who do this? Thinking a commissioner of oaths to do the swearing in?
Thanks in advance!
