A quick definition of original-writing rule:

The original-writing rule, also known as the best-evidence rule, is an evidentiary rule that requires a party to produce the original writing, recording, or photograph to prove its contents. If the original is unavailable, secondary evidence such as testimony may be admitted. This rule ensures that the most reliable evidence is presented in court.

A more thorough explanation:

The original-writing rule, also known as the best-evidence rule, is an evidentiary rule that requires a party to produce the original writing, recording, or photograph to prove its contents. If the original is unavailable, a duplicate may be used as secondary evidence.

For example, if a party wants to prove the contents of a contract, they must produce the original signed document. If the original is lost or destroyed, a photocopy or other duplicate may be used as secondary evidence.

The purpose of the original-writing rule is to ensure the accuracy and authenticity of evidence presented in court. It prevents parties from relying on hearsay or unreliable copies of documents.
