Extent of Recitals in Laws as Evidence

The recitals in a public law are conclusive evidence of the facts recited for the purpose of carrying it into effect, but no further. The recitals in a private law of another state or foreign country or the United States are conclusive evidence between parties who claim under its provisions, but no further. SOURCE: CCP § 1903 modified. COMMENT: Occasionally, Guam Public Laws will contain recitals of fact. While Guam has no private laws, claimants in an action may rely upon the private laws of another jurisdiction. This section limits the scope of all such recitals.
