294O Warnings

If, in proceedings to which this division applies, the evidence of a witness is given by a pre-recording or a witness intermediary is used, the Court must—

(a) inform the jury it is standard procedure to give evidence by a pre-recording or to use a witness intermediary in the proceedings, and

(b) warn the jury not to draw an inference adverse to the accused person or to give the evidence greater or lesser weight because the evidence was given by a pre-recording or a witness intermediary was used.
