If you have a public document from Australia, you can use it as evidence in a New Zealand court. The document must be sealed, stamped, signed, or have some other mark that shows it is real, as required by the Australian law that applies to it. You can use the document for the same purpose and to the same extent as you would in an Australian court.

If you have a certified copy of the document, or just a part of it, you can use that as evidence too. This means someone has looked at the copy and confirmed it is accurate. You can use the copy for the same purpose as the original document.

Some public documents from Australia do not need extra proof to show they are real. You can use these documents in a New Zealand court without having to prove who signed them or that they have an official seal. This makes it easier to use the documents as evidence.

When we talk about public documents, we mean official papers like certificates or records of meetings. These documents can be used as evidence in court, and they are important for proving things. You can find more information about this by looking at the 1990 No 46 s 9 law.
