The High Court upheld the District Court Judge's exercise of discretion: s180(1)(a)(ii) is a fact‑sensitive 'interests of justice' test that does not require oral examination in all credibility disputes; where credibility can only be properly assessed in the context of all trial evidence, it is not in the interests of justice to order oral evidence at committal, and the District Court Judge did not err in declining the order here.
