EVIDENCE ACT 1906 - SECT 106D

106D .         Corroboration warning on evidence of child not to be given

                In any proceeding on indictment for an offence in which evidence is given by a child, the judge is not to warn the jury, or suggest to the jury in any way, that it is unsafe to convict on the uncorroborated evidence of that child because children are classified by the law as unreliable witnesses.
