Commentary on Sections Part 11 - Evidence Chapter 3 : Miscellaneous and Supplemental Section 138: Video evidence : further provisions
441.Where a video recording (or part of one) is admitted under section 137, section 138 (1) states that the recording should be the final statement of any matters dealt with adequately within the recording for the purpose of the witness's evidence-in-chief.
442.Subsection (2) allows video recordings to be edited if the interests of justice so require. In determining whether to allow only an edited recording to be used, the court will have to consider whether the parts sought to be excluded are so prejudicial as to outweigh the desirability of using the whole recording.
