- HCCL42/2005
The application for the defendant to give evidence by video-link was refused because the defendant's credibility was central to the case, the documentary and interpreter demands would be significantly worsened by remote evidence, the psychiatric reports did not establish an absolute inability to travel, and the risk of re-arrest was found to be negligible; therefore the proper exercise of the court's discretion required in-person testimony.
