352 Limitation on sexual history evidence
Sexual history evidence is not to be regarded—
(a)
as having a substantial relevance to the facts in issue by virtue of any inferences it may raise as to general disposition; or
(b)
as being proper matter for cross-examination as to credit unless, because of special circumstances, it would be likely materially to impair confidence in the reliability of the evidence of the complainant.
