Text: Appellant argues that the decree must be reversed because the court permitted the insured to introduce as an exhibit, a certified copy of a form, SR-21, allegedly filed in behalf of insured, by the insurer, with the Department of Public Safety in connection with the accident with which we are concerned. Appellant's insistence is that the court erred in admitting the exhibit in evidence after the cause was submitted for decree. In connection with offering additional evidence after submission, see Ex parte State ex rel. Brittain, 237 Ala. 164, 186 So. 148. We have not given any weight to this exhibit which was not necessary to prove complainant's right to relief. If it were not in the record before us, the result would be the same. The inclusion of this exhibit in the evidence has not injuriously affected substantial rights of the parties and, under Supreme Court Rule 45 we do not think it cause for reversal.
