Direct answer
These records cannot be placed on one simple scale from 'strongest' to 'weakest' because they answer different questions. A trade register shows registered facts; a governing-body decision records institutional intent; a signature declaration provides a signature specimen; a power of attorney defines delegated scope; and a system authorisation shows technical access. The right evidence depends on the authority being claimed and the date of the transaction, and often requires several records to be considered together.
In plain language
A person's access card may open the door to a building. That does not prove that the person may sell the building. The card proves technical access; an official decision or power of attorney proves a different kind of authority.
Why this matters
Serious errors arise when technical access is treated as legal authority, a signature specimen as current authority, or an old governing-body decision as proof of the present register position.
Do not confuse
- A document's authenticity and its sufficiency for a particular claim are different questions.
- Technical permission is not legal authority.
- A signature specimen alone does not prove authority for the scope of a transaction.
- The effect of registration, a decision or a power of attorney varies with the legal context.
What should you do?
- Write down the exact proposition to be proved and the relevant transaction date.
- Identify the question that each item of evidence can answer.
- Verify the issuing authority, version and validity of each document.
- When records conflict, have recency and legal effect assessed by a qualified specialist.
- Keep technical-access records separate from records of legal authority.
How do you audit it?
- Does the document concern the correct person and organisation?
- Was it valid on the transaction date?
- Does it support the transaction type and value concerned?
- Is there a revocation or a more recent decision?
- Has the technical system granted broader access than the documented authority permits?
Limit
NOMOS evidence matching does not determine legal validity. Conflicting records and high-impact transactions should be assessed by an authorised legal professional against official records.
Remember in one sentence
The strongest evidence is not a document that answers every question; it is evidence that supports the right proposition at the right time.
