With the increased use of audio and audio visual links ('AVL') in both civil and criminal jurisdictions, attention must be focused on minimising technical issues, the need to avoid disruptions, and the objective of efficient proceedings. This webinar will draw on recent case law and transcripts from Australia to identify a range of acoustic or audio issues that are increasingly occurring in courtrooms with the increased use of AVL and other communication technologies. This seminar will examine:
- relevant legislative provisions including Evidence (Audio and Audio Visual Links) Act 1998 (NSW);
- relevant case law;
- the impacts of audio problems on legal procedure by examining the hearing rule, courtroom rituals and practices, the quality of the AVL technology, the complexities of remote interpreting by AVL, the problems for court transcription, and the increasing ease of muting remote participants; and
- procedural justice challenges.
This webinar will assist legal practitioners in preparing for remote matters and dealing with courtroom technologies.
