Criminal Trials Court Bench Book Update 63.1

The Criminal Trials Court Bench Book has been updated at [2-550] Complaint evidence as follows:

Following SB v R [2020] NSWCCA 207, where there was consideration of the character of complaint evidence, the suggested direction at [2-570] has been revised. The words “independent of” have been replaced with “additional to” to address potential ambiguity.
