duplicate

duplicate
Verb: To make an exact copy or double of something. Noun: The double of anything. Lorch v Page, 97 Conn 66, 115 A 681, 24 ALR 1204, 1206. An instrument, sometimes called a duplicate original, of exact identity with another instrument, executed as an original the same as the other instrument, and having all the legal effect of an original. Anno: 24 ALR 1209; 17 Am J2d Contr § 284; 50 Am J1st Stat § 289. The most significant distinction between a mere copy and a duplicate or duplicate original is that the best evidence rule, which applies to a copy does not apply to a duplicate. 29 Am J2d Ev § 487. The better view is that the different numbers or impressions of a writing produced by placing carbon paper between sheets of paper and writing upon the exposed surface are duplicate originals, of which any may be introduced in evidence without accounting for the nonproduction of the others. Maston v Glen Lumber Co. 65 Okla 80, 163 P 128; 29 Am J2d Ev § 488.
