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.
