It may be possible to obtain notarised copies of documents, though if the originals have gone, then this will not be of any use since the whole point of notarised copies is that the notary or lawyer confirms that the copies are a genuine copy of the original.
If the other side has no objection, then normal copies of missing documents would usually be acceptable; if the other side does have objections to particular items of evidence as copies, these need to be resolved on a case-by-case basis.
If the missing documents in question relate to correspondence, MoMs, etc., there will usually be other copies in circulation, and these can sometimes be obtained in the Discovery Process, if this is used (dependant upon the jurisdiction).
If copies cannot be obtained, then sometimes you have to rely upon Witness Statements that are taken under oath, though these are themselves often subjective.
I think, original documents are considered to be a valid documents in order to produce it as a evidence in court, during the absence of such documents, if both parties are agreed to what has been mentioned in the copy of the original documents are a true copy, may be the court can admit it as a evidence.
