EVIDENCE ACT 1995 - SECT 55

Relevant evidence

             (1)  The evidence that is relevant in a proceeding is evidence that, if it were accepted, could rationally affect (directly or indirectly) the assessment of the probability of the existence of a fact in issue in the proceeding.

             (2)  In particular, evidence is not taken to be irrelevant only because it relates only to:

                     (a)  the credibility of a witness; or

                     (b)  the admissibility of other evidence; or

                     (c)  a failure to adduce evidence.
