- Case number
- HCA413/2015
Permission to give oral evidence remotely was granted because the applicant is a core witness of advanced age with medical vulnerabilities and faces substantial health and logistical risks from long-haul travel and mandatory quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic; prior notice had been given and the Technology Court was available; the court can give directions to protect fairness and integrity, and the potential prejudice to the respondent was outweighed by the risk of irreparable injustice and the public interest in fair, efficient, cost-effective administration of justice.
