Admissibility of hearsay evidence
The FLA makes specific exemptions that excludes strict adherence to evidentiary rules, for example, where a representation made by a child about the welfare of that child or another child may be admissible even where it is hearsay: s 69ZV, FLA. Even where the court permits evidence to be admitted, it must also consider the weight to be given to such evidence.
See Admissibility of hearsay evidence.
