Issues Paper 22 (2002) - Questioning of complainants by unrepresented accused in sexual assault trials
Terms of reference
In a letter to the Commission dated 27 March 2002, the Attorney General, the Hon R J Debus MP referred the following matter for inquiry:
Whether an unrepresented accused in a sexual offence trial should be permitted to cross-examine a complainant. Specifically, whether courts should have the power to appoint a person other than an unrepresented accused to cross-examine complainants in sexual offence cases whether or not the accused consents. |
