  [ ] Subject to sections 13-24-118 and 13-24-119, a collaborative law communication is privileged under subsection (2) of this section, is not subject to discovery, and is not admissible in evidence in any proceeding except as agreed by the parties and nonparty participants, if any, in a signed participation agreement or later agreement signed by both parties and nonparty participants, if any, and except as noted in this article 24.    In a proceeding, the following privileges apply:   A party may refuse to disclose, and may prevent any other person from disclosing, a collaborative law communication; and    A nonparty participant or a collaborative law attorney may refuse to disclose, and may prevent any other person from disclosing, a collaborative law communication except as agreed by both parties and nonparty participants, if any, in writing.       Evidence or information, including but not limited to disclosures made pursuant to rule 16.2 of the Colorado rules of civil procedure, as amended, that is otherwise admissible to a tribunal or subject to discovery does not become inadmissible or protected from discovery solely because of its disclosure or use in a collaborative law process.

  [ ] A privilege under section 13-24-117 may be waived in a record or orally during a proceeding if it is expressly waived by all parties and, in the case of the privilege of a nonparty participant, it is also expressly waived by the nonparty participant.    A person that makes a disclosure or representation about a collaborative law communication which prejudices another person in a proceeding may not assert a privilege under section 13-24-117, but this preclusion applies only to the extent necessary for the person prejudiced to respond to the disclosure or representation.

2021 Colorado Code|Title 13 - Courts and Court Procedure|Article 24 - Uniform Collaborative Law Act (Effective January 1, 2022)|§ 13-24-119. Limits of Privilege

  [ ] There is no privilege under section 13-24-117 for a collaborative law communication that is:   Available to the public under article 72 of title 24;    A threat or statement of a plan to inflict bodily injury or commit a crime of violence or a threat to the safety of a child under eighteen years of age;    Intentionally used to plan a crime, commit or attempt to commit a crime, or conceal an ongoing crime or ongoing criminal activity; or    In an agreement resulting from the collaborative law process, evidenced by a record signed by all parties to the agreement.       The privileges under section 13-24-117 for a collaborative law communication do not apply to the extent that a communication is:   Sought or offered to prove or disprove a claim or complaint of professional misconduct or malpractice arising from or related to a collaborative law process or matter; or    Sought or offered to prove or disprove abuse, neglect, abandonment, or exploitation of a child or adult.       If a collaborative law communication is subject to an exception under subsection (1) or (2) of this section, only the part of the communication necessary for the application of the exception may be disclosed or admitted.    Disclosure or admission of evidence excepted from the privilege under subsection (1) or (2) of this section does not make the evidence or any other collaborative law communication discoverable or admissible for any other purpose.    The privileges under section 13-24-117 do not apply if the parties agree in advance in a signed record, or if a record of a proceeding reflects agreement by the parties, that all or part of a collaborative law process is not privileged. This subsection (5) does not apply to a collaborative law communication made by a person that did not receive actual notice of the agreement before the communication was made.

  [ ] If an agreement fails to meet the requirements of section 13-24-104 or a lawyer fails to comply with section 13-24-114 or 13-24-115, a tribunal may nonetheless find that the parties intended to enter into a collaborative law participation agreement if they:   Signed a record indicating an intention to enter into a collaborative law participation agreement; and    Reasonably believed they were participating in a collaborative law process.       If a tribunal makes the findings specified in subsection (1) of this section, and the interests of justice require, the tribunal may:   Enforce an agreement evidenced by a record resulting from the process in which the parties participated;    Apply the disqualification provisions of sections 13-24-105, 13-24-106, 13-24-109, and 13-24-111; and    Apply a privilege under section 13-24-117.

  Every court of this state shall take judicial notice of the common law and statutes of every state, territory, and other jurisdiction of the United States.    The court may inform itself of such laws in such manner as it may deem proper, and the court may call upon counsel to aid it in obtaining such information.    The determination of such laws shall be made by the court and not by the jury and is reviewable.    Any party may also present to the trial court any admissible evidence of such laws, but, to enable a party to offer evidence of the law in another jurisdiction or to ask that judicial notice be taken thereof, reasonable notice shall be given to the adverse parties either in the pleadings or otherwise.    The law of a jurisdiction other than those referred to in subsection (1) of this section is an issue for the court but shall not be subject to the foregoing provisions concerning judicial notice.    This section shall be so interpreted and construed as to effectuate its general purpose to make uniform the law of those states which enact it and may be cited as the “Uniform Judicial Notice of Foreign Law Act”.

Walker v. Drogmund, 101 Colo. 521 , 74 P.2d 1235 (1937).   Affidavit must show original is unavailable. The reception of secondary evidence of the contents of a writing in the absence of a showing that the original is unavailable is error. Epple v. First Nat'l Bank, 143 Colo. 319 , 352 P.2d 796 (1960).   Affidavit was not sufficient to comply with this section where it was not based upon the affiant's personal knowledge of the existence of the document and his personal knowledge that it was lost.

This section does not require proof that the original deed has been lost. It is sufficient if affidavit be made that the original is not in the affiant's possession or power to produce. Coleman v. Davis, 13 Colo. 98 , 21 P. 1018 (1889).   The greater the value of the instrument, the more conclusive should be the proof of its existence and contents. People v. Heckers, 37 Colo.

 In trials of actions upon contracts, expressed or implied, where the action is brought by partners or by joint payees or obligees, it shall not be necessary for the plaintiff, in order to maintain any such action, to prove the partnership of the individuals named in such action or to prove the first names or surnames of such partners or of joint payees or obligees, but the names of the partners or joint payees or obligees shall be presumed to be truly set forth in the declaration, petition, or bill.
