However, when legislation states that the court may receive any evidence it thinks fit, it is already covered by the Evidence Act. When you provide for this, it is in conflict with that other legislation. The best way, if that is what the National Assembly wanted to do, is to say, “Notwithstanding what is provided in the Evidence Act.” The evidence, which is the legislation, covers all the other substantive legislations when it comes to the taking of evidence.
