Mcphillamy V RHigh Court of Australia
Judgment Date:
2018-08-09
Abstract:
The High Court of Australia (HCA) has overturned the ruling of New South Wales Supreme Court of Criminal Appeal in finding that the tendency evidence submitted by the two witnesses in relation to the allegations of the complainant, an 11-year-old altar boy under the supervision of the appellant acolyte, had probative value. The HCA rather ruled that the evidence was not capable of meeting the requirement of significant probative value for admission as tendency evidence.
