Evidence

The courts now have expanded power to control evidence. Rule 32.1 states: 1

The court may control the evidence by giving directions as to – a

the issues on which it requires evidence;

b

the nature of the evidence which it requires to decide those issues; and

c

the way in which the evidence is to be placed before the court.

2

The court may use its power under this rule to exclude evidence that would otherwise be admissible.

3

The court may limit cross-examination.
