    Similar fact evidence refers to evidence of uncharged acts that may be admitted in criminal trials. It can take the form of evidence of habit or custom, evidence of intention, identity, or absence of mistake/accident. Generally, similar fact evidence is inadmissible unless it is relevant to a live issue in the case and its probative value outweighs its prejudicial effect. The decision in Makin v AG for New South Wales established that similar fact evidence is admissible if it has a probative value that relates to a fact in issue.
