205: Notice before commencement concerning propensity evidence about co-defendants

You could also call this:

"Warning about co-defendants' past behaviour before the court case starts"

Illustration for Evidence Act 2006

If you are going to court, you might get a notice about something called propensity evidence. This notice can be given to you before a certain rule starts, so you have enough time to prepare for your court hearing. You can get this notice even before the rule officially begins, as long as your hearing is going to happen after the rule starts, and it is given under a part of the law called section 42(2).
