It is explained in the Bill that a relevant order relates to the admissibility of evidence. This is a significant part of the legislation. One of the reasons we are introducing pretrial hearings is to allow a decision to be made on whether evidence is relevant. The Bill sets out that a relevant order "means an order as to the admissibility of evidence”. I am not sure we would want to remove that.
