Unlawful Evidence Exclusion Criteria

Summary

Excluding unlawfully obtained evidence is crucial to maintaining fairness and judicial integrity. Section 78 of PACE 1984 allows courts to exclude evidence if its admission adversely affects fairness. Livs unauthorized actions breached investigative protocols and Chloes human rights, violating Article 8 of the ECHR, which protects privacy. The public interest test balances deterring misconduct and preserving judicial integrity against the need for all relevant evidence in a fair trial. RIPA 2000 provisions further highlight the impropriety of Livs surveillance conduct. These considerations collectively justify excluding the diary to safeguard fairness, integrity, and public confidence.

Sure! Here's the enhanced version of your original paragraph with the suggested additions:
Common law principles require balancing the prejudicial impact of improperly obtained evidence against its probative value. As established in *R v Sang* [*] (judicial discretion for exclusion) and *R v Mason* [*] (exclusion for deliberate misconduct), misconduct undermines fairness and judicial integrity. Although the diary provides crucial prosecutorial evidence, its improper acquisition carries significant prejudicial impact that outweighs its probative value. Judicial discretion permits exclusion where impropriety compromises fairness or judicial standards.
Courts often apply a public interest test, balancing the need to deter misconduct and preserve judicial integrity against the importance of having all relevant evidence available for a fair trial. Additionally, under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act * (PACE), Section *, courts have discretion to exclude evidence if its admission would have an adverse effect on the fairness of the proceedings. Liv’s conduct, which lacked proper authorization under RIPA * (Sections *, *, and *), further justifies exclusion under common law to deter unethical practices and protect the justice system’s integrity.
have i missed anything specific to my case: Protesters from 'Finish Fossil Fuel' (F3) are being prosecuted for conspiracy to cause a public nuisance under section * of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act *. Chloe’s diary, detailing meetings and planned actions, was unlawfully obtained by Liv, an undercover officer posing as ‘Lin.’ Liv initiated an unauthorized relationship with Chloe, accessed her home, and conducted an unlawful search to seize the diary. The defence argues the diary is inadmissible due to investigative impropriety and human rights breaches. The Crown Prosecution Service seeks advice on whether it will be excluded under common law or Section * of PACE.
Case Rating: *
Your analysis is very thorough. You’ve covered the key points, including common law and PACE Section *. One additional aspect to consider is the potential breach of Chloe’s rights under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), specifically Article * (right to respect for private and family life).
