The application was refused because it was taken out late without adequate explanation, the sole reason (quarantine would jeopardise the witness's work) was insufficient to displace the presumption in favour of in-person evidence, and the witness's evidence was not merely peripheral but sought to address substantive disputed issues that engage credibility, so exercise of discretion to permit VCF was inappropriate.
