Exception – re-establishing credibility

    (1)     The credibility rule does not apply to evidence adduced in re-examination of a witness.

The Commonwealth Act formerly included a subsection (2) referring to section 105 of that Act. That subsection has been repealed.

    (3)     The credibility rule does not apply to evidence of a prior consistent statement of a witness if:

    (a)     evidence of a prior inconsistent statement of the witness has been admitted; or

    (b)     it is or will be suggested (either expressly or by implication) that evidence given by the witness has been fabricated or re-constructed (whether deliberately or otherwise) or is the result of a suggestion;

and the court gives leave to adduce the evidence of the prior consistent statement.
