Introduced in the early 20th century, the Act standardizes rules regarding the collection, preservation, and presentation of evidence in both civil and criminal cases.
Recent amendments have incorporated digital evidence, such as emails and electronic records, acknowledging the evolving nature of information in the 21st century. Legal experts say that these changes make the justice system more transparent and efficient, reducing disputes over evidence admissibility.
"By clarifying what counts as evidence, the Act minimizes courtroom confusion and supports fair trials," said legal analyst Mark Rivers. Citizens and law practitioners alike are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the new provisions to ensure compliance and protect their rights.
