(2) A copy provided under section 1086, certified by the registrar (whose official position it is unnecessary to prove) to be an accurate record of the contents of the original document, is in all legal proceedings admissible in evidence—

(a) as of equal validity with the original document, and

(b) as evidence (in Scotland, sufficient evidence) of any fact stated in the original document of which direct oral evidence would be admissible.

(3) Copies provided by the registrar may, instead of being certified in writing to be an accurate record, be sealed with the registrar’s official seal.

(4) In subsection (1) “hard copy form”, in relation to a document or information sent or supplied, is a document or information sent or supplied in a paper copy or similar form capable of being read.”
