The Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Application to Service Courts) (Evidence) Order 1996
This Order applies the provisions of sections 32(1) to (3), 32A and 34A of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (c. 33) (the 1988 Act), with modifications, to proceedings before Service courts. The provisions relate to the giving of evidence by witnesses other than the accused through a live television link and by video recording of an interview, and prohibit the cross-examination of a child witness by the accused in person. The Order revokes the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Application to Service Courts) (Evidence through Television Links) Order 1993, which applied only section 32(1) to (3) of the 1988 Act to Service proceedings.
