Law reform package passes NSW Parliament

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 20 Maret 2013 | 23.49

LAW reforms aimed at making criminal trials more efficient have passed through NSW Parliament.

In a statement, the government said the reform package, which passed parliament on Wednesday night, was a key part of its fight against organised crime.

The first tranche of the reforms allows juries to draw adverse inferences from silence in certain circumstances, according to the statement from Police Minister Michael Gallacher and Attorney General Greg Smith.

The second part mandates that both sides in criminal trials must follow a timetable for disclosing material before trials begin.

The legislation was opposed by Labor and the Greens.

Mr Smith said a ruling from the European Court of Human Rights found "similar laws in the UK were consistent with the right to a fair trial".
