The only reason the case was retried was due to fresh evidence, without that fresh evidence "the similar fact evidence" the conviction would stand..and consequently anybody in the future claming they were drunk and couldnt remeber consenting to sex the night before can go to the police and claim they were raped. Thast is a dangerous precedent..A precedent is simply jude made law, where they fill in the blanks that the legaslature couldnt possibly forsee when they draft legistlation, precedents, common law as its otherwise known.
The YJCEA 1999 is the Yoith Justice and Criminal Evidence Act, part of wihch is s41, you know that what people have been been discussing for 130 pages. The SAA 2003 is The Sexual Amendment Act..that thing what explains what consent and reasonable belief in consent are, amongst other things.
