Applying s103 and s105 of the Evidence Act and the High Court Rules, the Judge balanced inconvenience of travel, the limited and relatively short nature of the evidence, modern video technology's adequacy for credibility assessment, and trial management imperatives, and ordered video link evidence for Mr Kurdin and Mr Moreau, scheduled Mr Lau to give evidence on 31 May 2013 and allowed his statement to be taken as read, with cross-examination time management directions to avoid prejudice.
