Appellant's Appendix - Philip D. Stern

admissible as a business record pursuant to N.J.R.E. 803(c)(6).
Hahnemann, supra, 292 N.J. Super. at 18; see also Biunno,
Weissbard & Zegas, Current N.J. Rules of Evidence, comment 2 on
N.J.R.E. 803(c)(6) (2011). Thus, if the matter is tried again,
plaintiff must properly authenticate the monthly statements as
required by the Rule and the cases we have cited.
Whether
Sharpe, some other witness, or defendant, if called by plaintiff
as a witness, can establish the underlying predicates making the
monthly statements admissible as a business record is a question
we cannot answer at this time. It suffices to say that Sharpe
was never accorded that opportunity because of the judge's
ruling.
Reversed and remanded for a new trial.
We do not retain
jurisdiction.
