91.This section provides that the court may draw inferences from an accused’s failure to mention a fact material to an offence which he could reasonably be expected to mention when questioned. The court may only draw such inferences where the accused was permitted to consult a solicitor before being questioned. The accused shall not be committed for trial, found to have a case to answer or be convicted solely on the basis of inferences under this section.
