South Australian Current Acts South Australian Current Acts34KD—Court's general discretion to exclude evidence
(1) In
prescribed proceedings the court may refuse to admit a statement as evidence
of a matter stated if—
(a) the
statement was made otherwise than in oral evidence in the proceedings; and
(b) the
court is satisfied that the case for excluding the statement, taking account
of the danger that to admit it would result in undue waste of time,
substantially outweighs the case for admitting it, taking account of the value
of the evidence.

section derogates from any other power of a court to exclude evidence at its
discretion (whether by preventing questions from being put or otherwise).
(3) In this
section—
"prescribed proceedings" means—
