R v Khan (No 7)

The appellant was charged with committing a terrorist act by publishing material that supported terrorist acts. The Crown sought to tender various publications found on the appellant's computer and phone as evidence. The defence argued that the probative value of this evidence was substantially outweighed by the danger that it might be misleading or confusing or cause an undue waste of time. The court was required to determine whether the publications should be admitted as evidence.

The court considered the probative value of the evidence, the potential for prejudice, and the risk of causing an undue waste of time. The court found that the publications were relevant to the charge and had significant probative value. Although the evidence might be prejudicial, the court found that this was outweighed by its probative value. The court also found that there was no undue risk of waste of time. The court held that the evidence should be admitted.

The court's decision was based on a careful consideration of the relevant factors. The court found that the probative value of the evidence outweighed any potential for prejudice or waste of time. The court held that the evidence should be admitted. The court did not make any final orders as the case was still before the court at the time of the decision.
