      How to keep notes that hold up

      Write notes as soon as you can. Keep the original account rather than replacing it later; the venue decides what weight it gets.

      1. Write it down straight away, on paper or in the box on a step.
      2. Put the date, time and place at the top, and who you spoke to.
      3. Use their words where you can; separate what you saw from what you were told.
      4. Sign or initial a paper note, photograph it and add the photo.
      5. Never edit an old note. Add a new dated entry when something changes. A device save time is not independent time evidence or proof of event order.

      Hazard papers must match the real load

      A flammable load travelled with a false harmless-goods description, and witnesses described a false paper added after a crash. A jury found the firm and owner guilty on thirteen counts. It found them not guilty on one hazard-sign count.

      Proves

      A completed time receipt shows that the exact selected file existed by the independently witnessed time. You can check whether a later copy has the same bytes. It does not establish creation time, authorship, identity, event order, location or the truth of the contents.

      Doesn’t prove

      It does not prove who created a record, its truth, physical location, custody, consent, approval, sending, delivery, acceptance or the outcome of a dispute.

It doesn't send the plain fingerprint or the random value that opens the code. Keep the original file and the complete receipt for checking. Privacy Policy.

      Can the receipt replace the shipping paper?
