the purposes of trade or business, verified by the affidavit of a person who
has compared the copy with the original as a copy of the entry of which it
purports to be a copy.

the document verified as a true copy by the affidavit of a person who has
compared the copy with the original.

(3) A copy furnished under sub-rule (1) or (2) shall not be treated as a true

mechanical or electronic means, or otherwise, and is capable of being
reproduced into a material form, readily understood, whether directly or
through the use of any device or thing, a reproduction of the document in that
material form verified as an accurate reproduction by the affidavit of a
person who can swear to such accuracy, shall for the purposes of sub-rules (1)
and (2) be deemed to be a verified copy.
