The Uniform Evidence Act and the Anunga Guidelines: Accommodation or annihilation? – Cameron Ford
In August 2011, the Northern Territory became the most recent Australian jurisdiction to adopt the Uniform Evidence Act. When the Evidence (National Uniform Legislation) Act (NT) comes into force, the evidence law of the Northern Territory will substantially mirror the evidence law which applies in the federal courts, and the State and Territory courts of the Australian Capital Territory, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and Norfolk Island. This article explores whether the Anunga Guidelines, a uniquely Territorian addition to the common law of evidence, can be accommodated within the Uniform Evidence Act regime. The impact of the Guidelines on the admissibility of confessions at common law is also discussed.
