Evidence (National Uniform Legislation) Act 2011

The court may give leave to a party to recall a witness to give evidence about a matter raised by evidence adduced by another party, being a matter on which the witness was not cross-examined, if the evidence concerned has been admitted and:

it contradicts evidence about the matter given by the witness in examination in chief; or

the witness could have given evidence about the matter in examination in chief.

A reference in this section to a matter raised by evidence adduced by another party includes a reference to an inference drawn from, or that the party intends to draw from, that evidence.
