    Court accepted the applicant's evidence of financial hardship and found the proposed university venue and safeguards (technical capability, independent observer and restricted access) credible; balancing the prejudice to the respondent against the prejudice to the applicant, the risk to the respondent was minor compared with the severe injustice of denying the applicant any forum to pursue her statutory claims, therefore the videoconference application was granted subject to specified conditions.
