341BPresumption of joint trial of domestic violence offences

341B Presumption of joint trial of domestic violence offences (1) Despite any rule of law to the contrary, if an accused person is charged with more than one domestic violence offence in the same indictment, it is presumed that the charges are to be tried together. (2) The presumption is not rebutted merely because: (a) evidence on one charge is not admissible on another charge; or (b) there is a possibility that evidence may be the result of collusion or suggestion. domestic violence offence means: (a) an offence that is a DVO contravention offence, as defined in section 4 of the Domestic and Family Violence Act 2007; or (b) an offence constituted by, or involving, conduct that is domestic violence, as defined in section 5 of the Domestic and Family Violence Act 2007.
