This On Demand was recorded on 9 December 2024.
Whether you are a civil or criminal law practitioner, it is important to keep up-to-date on developments in the law of evidence. Presented by evidence law lecturers and two of the co-authors of Mahoney on Evidence: Act & Analysis (Thomson Reuters 2nd ed, 2024 forthcoming), our annual evidence law update is back.
This 2-hour On Demand focuses on the current application of key sections of the Evidence Act 2006 in both the civil and criminal law jurisdictions. It covers recent developments in evidence law of interest to all practitioners. Topics covered will vary at the discretion of the presenters, but can include:
- relevance / unfair prejudice/ propensity evidence;
- expert opinion evidence;
- claims of privilege / confidentiality;
- hearsay / business records;
- defendant’s statements and improperly obtained evidence;
- eligibility and compellability of witnesses;
- examination-in-chief;
- cross-examination;
- modes of presenting evidence;
- reliability warnings;
- “quick takes” on evidence issues in civil and criminal cases.
