Act and Omission Provisions - please explain!
Hi, I'm having trouble understanding the Act and Omission provision in the Criminal Admissibility legislation, can any experts explain? It seems from this forum that charges that do not result in a conviction, cannot result in inadmissibility. However, I am confused as to when the Act and Omission guidelines can be applied - for instance, if a charge leads to a discharge etc., there is no conviction, but can they not apply these provisions? My research has me in circles over this so I am posing it to the experts in the hopes of clarification.

Nobody sane will even try to answer your question without knowing all details and circumstances of the case, sorry. You need to hire someone to do so.
