287 Evidentiary effect of certain transcripts
If a deposition referred to in section 285 or 286 is in the form of a written transcript of matter recorded by means, other than writing, authorised by law for the recording of depositions—
the record so made is taken to be a true record of the matter so deposed, and
the transcript of the record is taken to be a correct transcript of that record,
unless proved to the contrary.
Subsection (1) applies only to—
a transcript made in the form of shorthand notes, being a transcript identified by, and signed in the handwriting of, the person purporting to have made those notes, or
a transcript made by other means (other than writing) authorised by law for the recording of depositions, being a transcript certified in the manner prescribed by the rules.
