The manufacturers of a breath testing device are third parties and any records they hold relating to the machine are not ‘prosecution material’ within the meaning of the CPIA.

That presumption can be rebutted if evidence to the contrary is adduced. In that event, it will be for the party seeking to produce the computer record in evidence to satisfy the court that the computer was working properly at the material time.
