Abstract
A general presumption exists against the admissibility of hearsay. Exceptions do exist to the hearsay rule, including the production of business documents. However, reports created by police officers have been considered inadmissible in Ontario courts. Will AGCO reports be treated the same way, or is there a way to distinguish them from police reports by law?
