provides that in Division 2, previous representation (a defined term) refers only to a representation made by a person who had, or might reasonably be supposed to have had, personal knowledge of the fact asserted in the representation, other than from a representation made by some other person about the asserted fact. Such a representation is referred to as "first-hand" hearsay. Subclause (2) defines personal knowledge as based on something personally seen, heard or otherwise perceived. Subclause (3) refers to clause 66A, which also contains a reference to knowledge and ensures that all previous representations covered by clause 66A are considered "first-hand" hearsay. Subclauses (2) and (3) reflect recommendation 8-5 of the 2005 LRCs' Report.
