Article 76 Exclusion of unfair evidence
Northern Ireland
In any criminal proceedings the court may refuse to allow evidence on which the prosecution proposes to rely to be given if it appears to the court that, having regard to all the circumstances, including the circumstances in which the evidence was obtained, the admission of the evidence would have such an adverse effect on the fairness of the proceedings that the court ought not to admit it.
Nothing in this Article shall—
prejudice any rule of law requiring a court to exclude evidence; F1. . .
