12  Evidence
 (1) The principal officer must ensure that a finding of fact is based on logically probative evidence.
Note: Summarised broadly, this is material that tends logically to prove the existence or non‑existence of a fact.
 (2) The principal officer must also ensure that the evidence relied on in an investigation is relevant.
Note: Summarised broadly, this is evidence that:
(a) is of consequence to a matter under investigation; and
(b) makes the existence of a fact more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence.
