Rule 106 – Remainder of or Related Writings or Recorded Statements


Recommended Posts

If a party introduces all or part of a writing or recorded statement, an adverse party may require the introduction, at that time, of any other part — or any other writing or recorded statement — that in fairness ought to be considered at the same time.

History (Pub.L. 93-595, § 1, Jan. 2, 1975, 88 Stat. 1930; Mar. 2, 1987, eff. Oct. 1, 1987; Apr. 26, 2011, eff. Dec. 1, 2011.)

~~~~~~~~~~

States usually have some equivalent version of this rule of evidence.  Could this be interpreted to mean that if an attorney for a debt buyer enters a page of evidence with your name and account number only,  then in order for this document to have probative value and be acceptable as evidence the complete document can be requested with all the names to be fair to the defense. The debt buyer will not provide this complete Bill of Sale document and without this piece of evidence the plaintiff has nobody to sue. I doubt any Judge/Arbitrator would rule accordingly however  he might throw you a bone and allow you to strike some other Plaintiff Document

You’re referring to the rule of completeness.  You need to see how your courts have ruled on that issue.  I seriously doubt a judge or arbitrator would allow all names contained in the sale to be revealed due to privacy.
