“bad character” is to be read in accordance with section 98;
“criminal proceedings” means criminal proceedings in relation to which the strict rules of evidence apply;
“defendant”, in relation to criminal proceedings, means a person charged with an offence in those proceedings; and “co-defendant”, in relation to a defendant, means a person charged with an offence in the same proceedings;
“important matter” means a matter of substantial importance in the context of the case as a whole;
“misconduct” means the commission of an offence or other reprehensible behaviour;
“offence” includes a service offence;
“probative value”, and “relevant” (in relation to an item of evidence), are to be read in accordance with section 109;
“prosecution evidence” means evidence which is to be (or has been) adduced by the prosecution, or which a witness is to be invited to give (or has given) in cross-examination by the prosecution;
[“service offence” has the same meaning as in the Armed Forces Act 2006;]
“written charge” has the same meaning as in section 29 and also includes an information.
(2)Where a defendant is charged with two or more offences in the same criminal proceedings, this Chapter (except section 101(3)) has effect as if each offence were charged in separate proceedings; and references to the offence with which the defendant is charged are to be read accordingly.
