I move amendment No. 4b:

In page 11, to delete lines 18 to 25 and substitute the following: “(2) An appeal referred to in this section shall only lie where it is contended by the prosecution that the relevant order made by the trial court erroneously excluded evidence which is—
(a) reliable,

(b) of significant probative value, and

(c) such that when taken together with the relevant evidence to be adduced in the proceedings a jury, or in the case of an offence before a Special Criminal Court, that court might reasonably be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt of the accused’s guilt in respect of the offence concerned.”
