business records exception

The business records exception allows certain documents, like logs, invoices, or reports, to be admitted as evidence in court without needing a witness to testify about how they were made, under specific conditions. For these records to be accepted, they must be created regularly during normal business operations, maintained accurately, and kept in the usual course of business. This exception recognizes that such records are reliable because they are generated as part of everyday business activities, providing a trustworthy way to use them in legal proceedings without requiring detailed witness testimony.
