Verified Answer
A. Evidence must be confined to the matter- in-issue
B. Hearsay evidence must not be admitted
C. Hearsay evidence must be admitted
D. The best evidence must be given in all cases
Explanation:
The main principles of the law of evidence include that evidence must be confined to the matter in issue, hearsay evidence must generally be excluded (with exceptions), and the best evidence must be given. Therefore, 'Hearsay evidence must be admitted' is not a main principle; its exclusion is.
