New South Wales
District Court Amendment (Audio
Visual Links) Rule 2012
under the
District Court Act 1973
The District Court Rule Committee has made the following rule of court under the
District Court Act 1973.
A Grew
Secretary of the Rule Committee
Explanatory note
The object of this Rule is to amend rule 16 of Part 53 of the District Court Rules 1973 as a consequence of amendments to the provisions of the Evidence (Audio and Audio Visual Links) Act 1998 regulating the appearance of accused persons in court by audio visual link. Rule 16 is concerned with factors that the District Court is to take into account in determining whether to make a direction under section 5BA (1) for a child detainee to appear before the Court by audio visual link, rather than physically. The amendment brings the rule into line with a similar rule appearing in the Children’s Court Rule 2000.
