A Domican identification warning is required where the Crown relies on visual identification through observed characteristics such as clothing, not only where identification is by facial recognition. Where a third party's out-of-court confession is in evidence, the jury must not be directed that they need to be positively satisfied the confession has substance before it can ground an acquittal; rather, it is simply a piece of evidence to be weighed with all other evidence in determining whether the Crown has proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.
