Youth Justice Act 1992

In a proceeding before a court under this division, evidence by affidavit of a person having direct knowledge of the facts deposed to is admissible to prove facts material to any question.

The proceeding may be decided on evidence by affidavit alone, unless the court orders, in the interests of justice, that a person who has made an affidavit be called to give evidence in the proceeding.

The court may make an order under subsection (2) of its own initiative or on the application of a party to the proceeding.

This section does not limit another way in which the proceeding may be conducted.
