No corroboration of the evidence given by an accomplice of the accused shall be required for the accused to be convicted, and it shall not be necessary for the Judge to give any warning to the jury relating to the absence of corroboration.

Nothing in this section shall derogate from the provisions of section 75(1) (evidence of treason) or section 112 (evidence of perjury, false oath, or false statement) of the Crimes Act 1961.

Where in any criminal proceedings it appears to the Judge that a witness may have some purpose of his or her own to serve in giving evidence and that for that reason there is a risk that the witness may give false evidence that is prejudical to the accused, the Judge shall consider whether or not it would be appropriate to instruct the jury on the need for special caution in considering the evidence given by the witness.”
