#### 108 Exception: re‑establishing credibility
(1) The credibility rule does not apply to evidence adduced in re‑examination of a witness.
(3) The credibility rule does not apply to evidence of a prior consistent statement of a witness if:
(a) evidence of a prior inconsistent statement of the witness has been admitted; or
(b) it is or will be suggested (either expressly or by implication) that evidence given by the witness has been fabricated or re‑constructed (whether deliberately or otherwise) or is the result of a suggestion;
and the court gives leave to adduce the evidence of the prior consistent statement.
