Cap. 9 Art. 507Duty to admit evidence.

Without prejudice to the generality of the last preceding article, where evidence is tendered to the court under that article, the court shall, unless it is satisfied that the evidence if received would not afford any ground for allowing the appeal, exercise its power under that article of receiving it if -

(a) it appears to it that the evidence is likely to be credible and would have been admissible at the trial on an issue which is the subject of the appeal; and

(b) it is satisfied that it was not adduced at the trial, but that there is a reasonable explanation for the failure so to adduce it.
