Admissibility of copy of entry as evidence.
Section 65
SEC. 65. Admissibility of copy of entry as evidence.— A copy of any entry in any book, register or list regularly kept in the course of business in the possession of a co-operative shall, if duly certified in such manner as may be prescribed by the regulations, be admissible in evidence of the existence of the entry and shall be admitted as prima facie evidence of the matters and transactions therein recorded in every case where, and to the same extent to which, the original entry would, if produced, have been admissible to prove such matters. In the case of such co-operative as the Administrator may direct, no person or a co-operative in possession of the books of such co-operative shall in any legal proceedings to which the co-operative is not a party be compelled to produce any of the books of the co-operative, the contents of which can be proved under subsection (1) or to appear as a witness to prove the matters, transactions and accounts therein recorded, unless by order of a competent court or judge made for special cause.
