- HCA1212/2002
The court exercised its discretion under Practice Direction 29 to permit the 1st defendant to give evidence by VCF because he is a crucial witness, the reasons for non-attendance (residence abroad, enforcement exposure, medical reports) were sufficiently credible, and permitting VCF would not cause substantial prejudice to the plaintiffs and would serve fair and efficient disposal; however the application to observe and participate in the entire trial via VCF was refused for lack of compelling reason and resource/management concerns.
