116  Evidence
 (1) The mere production of a document signed by the Registrar purporting to be a copy of the entry in the Child Support Register in relation to a registrable maintenance liability is prima facie evidence:
 (a) that the liability is a registrable maintenance liability; and
 (b) that the liability is duly registered under this Act; and
 (c) that the particulars of the entry in the Child Support Register in relation to the liability are those set out in the document; and
 (d) that all of those particulars are correct.
 (1A) Paragraphs (1)(a), (b) and (d) do not apply in relation to proceedings under Part VII, in the ART for an ART review or in a court under Part 7 of the ART Act in relation to such a review, on an objection to a decision:
 (a) to register a registrable maintenance liability; or
 (b) as to particulars entered in the Child Support Register in relation to a registrable maintenance liability.
 (1B) Paragraph (1)(c) does not apply in relation to proceedings under Part VII, in the ART for an ART review or in a court under Part 7 of the ART Act in relation to such a review, on an objection to a decision as to particulars varied in the Child Support Register in relation to a registrable maintenance liability.
 (2) The mere production of a certificate in writing signed by the Registrar, certifying that an amount specified in the certificate was, on the date of the certificate, due and payable by a specified person to the Commonwealth in relation to a specified registrable maintenance liability or specified carer liability or under a specified provision of Part IV, is prima facie evidence of the matters stated in the certificate.
 (3) Without limiting the generality of subsection (2), a certificate under that subsection may specify the amount of the outstanding balance of one or more child support debts as described in section 67.
