As with similar proposals discussed above, the Working Party recommends against
introducing a power for the court to exclude otherwise relevant and admissible
evidence which may be thought likely to contribute to prolixity in the trial context.
The favoured approach, recommended by the Working Party, is to adopt enhanced
powers for managing trials (such as those to be found in Western Australia) enabling
appropriate directions to be given at the pre-trial review stage and also to rein in
prolixity by adopting a more stringent view of relevance in the course of the trial.
