Evidence
Evidence law is the body of law that governs how facts are proved in legal proceedings. In the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), the law of evidence is primarily governed by the Evidence Act 2011 (ACT), which forms part of the Uniform Evidence Law framework used across most Australian jurisdictions.
In criminal proceedings, evidence law determines:
- What evidence can be admitted or excluded in court
- how evidence must be collected and preserved
- How witnesses may be examined and challenged
- the fairness and reliability of the trial process
The overarching purpose is to ensure that criminal trials are fair, reliable, and based on properly tested material.
