2A Numbering of Act
(1) In order to maintain consistent numbering between this Act and the Evidence Act 1995 of the Commonwealth –
(a) if the Commonwealth Act contains a section that is not in this Act, that section number and heading are included in this Act despite the omission of the body of the section; and
(b) if this Act contains a section that is not in the Commonwealth Act, that section is numbered so as to maintain consistency in numbering between sections common to both Acts.
(2) A section number and heading referred to in subsection (1)(a) form part of this Act.
| Note 1: A note appears under each heading of a kind referred to in subsection (1)(a) describing the omitted section of the Commonwealth Act. | | Note 2: A note appears under each section of a kind referred to in subsection (1)(b) highlighting the non-appearance of an equivalent section in the Commonwealth Act. | | Note 3: This section does not appear in the Commonwealth Act. |
