JAMAICA-COURT-Government to amend Evidence Act to allow for computer generated evidence
Aug 14, 2013
KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – The Jamaica government is moving to amend the Evidence Act to facilitate easy admission of computer generated evidence in cases, Justice Minister Mark Golding has said. “Our provisions in the Evidence Act are antiquated and require quite a convoluted series of steps in terms of proof of the working of the machine, before any computer-generated evidence can be admitted,” Golding said, adding that given the prevalence of computers, the government wants to modernise the provisions and make them more user friendly. In addition, the Portia Simpson Miller administration is also moving to amend the existing legislation to allow for among other things, uncontested expert reports within the court system.
