Video link in relation to the Technology and Construction Court

[rtbs name=”technology-and-construction-court”]If any witness (whose witness statement has been served and who is required to give oral evidence) is located outside England and Wales or would find a journey to court inconvenient or impracticable, his evidence might be given via a video link. Thought should be given before the Pre-trial Review to the question whether this course would be appropriate and proportionate. Such evidence is regularly received by the Technology and Construction Court and facilities for its reception, whether in appropriate court premises or at a convenient venue outside the Technology and Construction Court building, are now readily available. Any application for a video link direction and any question relating to the manner in which such evidence is to be given should be dealt with at the Pre-trial Review. Attention is drawn to the Video-conferencing Protocol set out at Annex 3 to the Practice Direction supplementing Civil Procedure Rules Part 32 – Evidence. The procedure described in Annex 3 is followed by the Technology and Construction Court.
