LAW OF EVIDENCE
WHEN FACTS NOT OTHERWISE
RELEVANT BECOME RELEVANT
If they are inconsistent with any fact in issue
or relevant fact;
Example:
A has written a defamatory statement against B.
This is a fact.
A is illiterate, this is another fact. Both the facts are
inconsistent but both facts are relevant and
admissible.
FACTS INCONSISTENT WITH FACT IN ISSUE
OR RELEVANT FACT
One fact is inconsistent with the other when it cannot co-
exist with the other. Under this clause facts are relevant
only because they cannot co-exist with fact in issue or
relevant fact.
