states the credibility rule itself—credibility evidence about a witness is not admissible. Accordingly, evidence that comes within the definition of credibility evidence in clause 101A is not admissible. The existence of clause 101A is not intended to change the law in this regard. The Note to clause 102, however, sets out exceptions to the rule, and lists the clauses in the Bill that permit the admission of credibility evidence in some circumstances. Clauses 101A and 102 are in accordance with the 2005 LRCs' Report (recommendation 12-1).
