Law Commission issues paper, 50, May 2023
The Evidence Act 2006 brings together most of the rules of evidence in a single statute. It was based on Te Aka Matua o te Ture | the Law Commission's 1999 report and decade-long review of evidence law in Aotearoa New Zealand.
This is the Commission’s third review of the operation of the provisions of the Act. The Minister of Justice referred the review to the Commission in February 2022, in accordance with section 202 of the Act. That section required the Commission to review the operation of the provisions of the Act every five years and consider whether repeal or amendment of any provisions is necessary or desirable. Section 202 has since been repealed, making this our final statutory review.
The Commission published this issues paper for public consultation on 08 May 2023. Submissions are open until 5pm on 30 June 2023. The feedback received will inform recommendations to the Government in the Law Commission's final report, which must be provided to the Minister of Justice by 23 February 2024. (From the website).
