(2)
Notwithstanding any written law to the contrary, a conviction for any offence under this Order solely on the uncorroborated evidence of any agent provocateur shall not be illegal and no such conviction shall be set aside merely because the court which tried the case has failed to refer in the grounds of its judgment to the need to warn itself against the danger of convicting on such evidence.
Proceedings under Order are civil proceedings.
