  (i) That the date of obtaining and recording the evidence, or the act/event in question does not exceed the statutory limit of charges and/or cases been brought for such a civil or criminal offence;  
  (ii) That the testimony was obtained legally;  
  (iii) That more than three pieces of admissible testimonial or physical evidence must be in existence;
