Raine and Creed (No. 2)

In *Raine and Creed (No. 2)*, Aldridge J of the Supreme Court of Western Australia was required to determine whether to admit an affidavit into evidence. The application concerned the admissibility of evidence sought to be adduced by Mr R.

The central legal issue before the Court was whether the affidavit tendered by Mr R met the requirements for admissibility, particularly in light of potential hearsay concerns and the rules governing the admission of evidence in interlocutory proceedings.

Aldridge J declined to admit the affidavit into evidence. The reasoning for this decision, though not fully detailed in the provided extract, indicates that the affidavit failed to satisfy the necessary evidentiary thresholds for admission at that stage of the proceedings. The Court's order reflects a determination that the evidence presented was not admissible.
