Welcome to the Evidence Act 2008


This blog was started back when the Evidence Act 2008 was nothing more than a gleam in Parliament's eye. It was an attempt to further understanding of some challenging new legislation when information about it was difficult to find.

Since then, many authors and luminaries have turned their minds to the complex issues the Act obliges Victorian lawyers to engage with. A blog devoted exclusively to this one piece of legislation isn't necessary, and is impossible for us to give the attention it deserves.

If you're looking for a more conventional blog posting on topical legal issues, have a look at Quis Custodiet Ipsos Custodes? by the same authors.

This site is no substitute for legal advice from an Australian lawyer. If you have a legal problem, it's great that you are doing a bit of research, but go consult a professional.

113. Application of Part

113. Application of Part

This Part applies only in a criminal proceeding.


Inapplicability of Crimes Act custody provisions

The provisions contained in Part 3 Division 30A of the Crimes Act 1958 do not regulate the conduct of identification parades: R v Meldrum and Borchert [1995] VSC 109.

The Victorian Court of Appeal first considered the operation of these identification provisions in THD v The Queen [2010] VSCA 115.
