Official textFrom Attorney General's Chambers, unchanged
Where in civil proceedings hearsay evidence is adduced and the maker of the original statement, or of any statement relied upon to prove another statement, is not called as a witness -
evidence which if he had been so called would be admissible for the purpose of attacking or supporting his credibility as a witness is admissible for that purpose in the proceedings; and
evidence tending to prove that, whether before or after he made the statement, he made any other statement inconsistent with it is admissible for the purposes of showing that he had contradicted himself:
Provided that evidence may not be given of any matter of which, if he had been called as a witness and had denied that matter in cross-examination, evidence could not have been adduced by the cross-examining party.
Previous statements of witnesses.
