How can hand writing be proved in the Court?



The hand writing of a person can be proved in the Court by: 

* Hand writing expert as peer section 47 of the Evidence Act, or 

* A person acquainted or conversant with handwriting of disputing author. section 49(1) of The Evidence Act. 

Note: in Joseph Mapema vs. Republic [1986] TLR 148 Msumi,J .,held at pg 152 that; for the purpose of enabling the court to decide the author of any piece of handwriting in dispute, the opinion of a person who is conversant with the handwriting of the disputing author is as good as, if not sometimes better than that of handwriting expert.
