The Final Report, Uniform Evidence Law (ALRC Report 102), completed jointly by the Australian Law Reform Commission, the New South Wales Law Reform Commission and the Victorian Law Reform Commission was tabled in the Commonwealth and Victorian parliaments and released in NSW on 8 February 2006.
The primary objectives of this inquiry were twofold: to identify and address any defects in the uniform Evidence Acts; and to maintain and further the harmonisation of the laws of evidence throughout Australia.
While areas of concern were identified and addressed in the report, the Commissions concluded that a major overhaul of the uniform Evidence Acts was neither warranted nor desirable.
