The Court has implemented
a national video-conferencing system (the first of
its kind in the world), that has reduced the cost
and time of witnesses giving evidence and enabled
more effective management of cases by presiding Judges
who may be at a location away from their normal place
of sitting.
The Court recognises that video-conferencing
facilities are increasingly relevant to ensure participation
from rural and remote localities in matters before the
Court. The Court is currently exploring opportunities
for enhanced use of video-conferencing through the eCourt
strategy.
The Court has issued a video
conferencing guide for those wishing to use video
conferencing in proceedings before the Court.
