Relevant evidence

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.
