§ 6017 Merger Agreement Evidence Rules

• •A certified copy of a merger agreement is as good as the original in court.
• •The copy proves that all the steps before the merger were done right.
• •It also proves the new company exists and any changes to its rules were properly made.

Two ice cream companies merge into one bigger company.

If someone questions whether the merger was done correctly, showing a certified copy of the merger agreement is enough proof. It means you don’t need to show the original document or prove each step was done right—just the copy is enough.
