EVIDENCE ACT 2011 - SECT 90

Discretion to exclude admissions

In a criminal proceeding, the court may refuse to admit evidence of an admission, or refuse to admit the evidence to prove a particular fact, if—

        (a)     the evidence is presented by the prosecution; and

        (b)     having regard to the circumstances in which the admission was made, it would be unfair to a defendant to use the evidence.

Note     Pt 3.11 contains other exclusionary discretions that apply to admissions.
