Appeal allowed: where uncontradicted medical evidence establishes that travel would be life‑threatening, a judge must not speculate about hypothetical travel arrangements; the balance of prejudice favors permitting the witness to give evidence by video link and any disadvantages (perjury sanction, cross‑examination impact) are matters for weight assessment at trial, not a bar to the use of video link.
