Section 7 - Corroboration

(1) Corroboration consists of evidence from which a reasonable inference can be drawn which confirms in a material particular the evidence to be corroborated and connects the relevant person with the crime, claim or defence.

(2) Evidence may, in proper circumstances, be corroborated by other independent evidence that requires corroboration.

(3) Unless otherwise provided by this or any other enactment, corroboration of admitted evidence is not necessary to sustain a finding of fact or verdict.

(4) A finding, verdict, judgment or decision shall not be set aside, altered or reversed on appeal or review on the sole ground that the Court failed to caution itself or the jury as to the danger of acting on the uncorroborated evidence unless the Appellate Court is satisfied that the failure resulted in a substantial miscarriage of justice.

(5) This section does not preclude the Court or a party from commenting on the danger of acting on the uncorroborated evidence, or commenting on the weight and credibility of admitted evidence, or preclude the tribunal of fact from considering the weight and credibility of admitted evidence.
