Welcome to the Criminal Procedure Act 2009


The Criminal Procedure Act 2009 has been in operation for a few years now. While there continues to be interpretation and amendment of its provisions, the transition from the old legislation to the new has successfully been made, and a blog exclusively dedicated to the Act is no longer necessary.

If you're looking for a frequently updated blog on general legal matters in Victoria, have a look at Quis Custodes Ipsos Custodes? by the same authors.

352. Limitation on sexual history evidence

352. Limitation on sexual history evidence

Sexual history evidence is not to be regarded—

(a) as having a substantial relevance to the facts in issue by virtue of any inferences it may raise as to general disposition; or

(b) as being proper matter for cross-examination as to credit unless, because of special circumstances, it would be likely materially to impair confidence in the reliability of the evidence of the complainant.
