Show Notes

Often considered one of the trickier areas of evidence law, today we will look at the principles of admissibility and exclusion of tendency and coincidence evidence. In our next episode, we'll turn to identification evidence, and opinion and expert evidence.

You can find the notes, and other resources, here.

The Judicial College of Victoria provides an absolute wealth of resources for the principles governing admissibility and exclusion of tendency evidence and coincidence evidence starting here. The use of tendence reasoning in criminal trials is also discussed here, and then here for coincidence reasoning.
