What happens if a document is alleged to be forged?

Civil Cases & Dispute Resolution

A forgery allegation can trigger a special evidentiary and procedural issue. The Civil Procedure framework expressly contemplates questions of forgery, fabrication or coercion arising from a written defence.

The document should not be treated as valid or invalid merely on allegation. The issue must be determined through the applicable legal process.
