329: Certificate of Board to be conclusive evidence

You could also call this:

“The Board's signed paper proves what they did, unless someone can show it's wrong.”

If the Board gives you a written certificate signed by someone they have allowed to sign it, you can use this as proof that the Board did something or followed a certain process. This certificate is considered strong evidence, and people will believe it unless someone can prove it’s not true. The certificate can be used for any purpose where you need to show what the Board did.
