55 Relevant evidence

(1)

The evidence that is relevant in a proceeding is evidence that, if it were accepted, could rationally affect (directly or indirectly) the assessment of the probability of the existence of a fact in issue in the proceeding.

(2)

In particular, evidence is not taken to be irrelevant only because it relates only to:

(a)

the credibility of a witness; or

(b)

the admissibility of other evidence; or

(c)

a failure to adduce evidence.
