Ark. R. Civ. P. 80
Reporter's Notes to Rule 80: 1. Rule 80 is a slightly revised version of FRCP 80. Superseded Ark. Stat. Ann. § 28-713 (Repl. 1962) contained the grounds for admitting former testimony although Rule 804 of the Uniform Rules of Evidence now contains such grounds. The question, therefore, as to when former testimony is admissible is determined by Rule 804. When it is admissible, it is proved under this rule.
