The application was allowed in part: a special passageway and a screen shielding the complainant from the public were ordered, but a screen that would prevent the defendant from seeing the complainant was refused because no exceptional circumstances were shown to displace the accused's right of confrontation and to permit denial of access to demeanour evidence; the prosecution's delay under Practice Direction 9.3 was noted but the application was allowed out of time on this occasion.
