FACTS: In a civil action for damages arising from a service contract, P sues D. R, a close business associate of D, stands to gain a substantial contract if D prevails, testifies that the service contract was properly formed and that the invoices are genuine. There is no order disqualifying R, and he is not shown to be legally incompetent. Which statement best describes the controlling doctrine on disqualification of witnesses on account of interest or relationship and the admissibility and weight of R's testimony?

Choose the Best Answer

The weight of the testimony is determined only by the fact that the witness has a motive to lie, not by the relationship. The testimony may be admitted, but the court may still convict solely on it if corroborated. If the witness is related to a party, his testimony is automatically unreliable and should be excluded. The witness is competent and his testimony is admissible, but should be received with caution and corroborated.
