A person's statement may be considered a transmitted report or testimony for or against another person's legal right. The general rules about solitary reports cannot automatically be transferred to every financial dispute or personal claim.
For testimony, the kind of right, whether another person bears a legal burden, and applicable conditions regarding number and uprightness of witnesses must be considered. Evidentiary transmission and establishing liability in court may have different conditions.
Distinction: “A trustworthy person reported something” does not universally entail “a binding claim against another person has been judicially proven.”
