Evidence relating to prior statements permits contradiction, corroboration, and credibility challenges as if the declarant had testified.
Proved statements relevant under sections 32 or 33 may be contradicted or corroborated, and the maker's credit may be impeached or confirmed. Matters may be proved where they could have been proved if the maker had been called as a witness and had denied the suggested matter on cross-examination. This enables testing of both the statement's reliability and the maker's credibility.
