orbthe keeping of a person in service custody has been authorised by an order under paragraph (2) and he is brought before a judge advocate before the expiry of the period for which it was so authorised.2The judge advocate may by order authorise the keeping (or further keeping) of the person in service custody if he is satisfied that there are substantial grounds for believing that, if released from service custody, the person would fail to attend the court as required.3The period for which the judge advocate may, by an order under paragraph (2), authorise the keeping of the person in service custody is such period, ending not later than 8 days after the day on which the order is made, as he considers appropriate in all the circumstances.4If the judge advocate makes no order under paragraph (2), the person must be released from service custody without delay;

“modern slavery offence” means an offence under section 42 as respects which the corresponding offence under the law of England and Wales is—an offence under section 1 (slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour) or 2 (human trafficking) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015;an offence of attempting or conspiring to commit such an offence; oran offence under Part 2 of the Serious Crime Act 2007 (encouraging and assisting crime) where the offence (or one of the offences) which the offender intended or believed would be committed is a modern slavery offence; sexual offence” means an offence under section 42 as respects which the corresponding offence under the law of England and Wales is— an offence which is— an offence under Part 1 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, ora relevant superseded offence as defined by section 62(1A) of the 1999 Act (meaning of “sexual offence” and other references to offences);an offence of attempting or conspiring to commit, or of aiding, abetting, counselling or procuring or inciting the commission of, such an offence; oran offence under Part 2 of the Serious Crime Act 2007 (encouraging and assisting crime) committed in relation to such an offence;special measures direction” means a direction providing for one or more of the special measures available in relation to a witness to apply to evidence given by the witness;the special measures provisions” means the provisions of Chapter 1 of Part 2 of the 1999 Act applied by an order under section 61(1) of that Act.2In this Chapter—areferences to the quality of a witness's evidence are to its quality in terms of completeness, coherence and accuracy (and for this purpose “coherence” refers to a witness's ability in giving evidence to give answers which address the questions put to the witness and can be understood both individually and collectively); andbreferences to the special measures available in relation to a witness are to be construed in accordance with rule 77.Witnesses eligible for assistance on grounds of age or incapacity751A witness is eligible for assistance by virtue of this rule if the witness is under the age of 18 at the time when it falls to the court to consider whether to give a special measures direction in relation to the witness.2A witness is also eligible for assistance by virtue of this rule if the court considers that the quality of evidence given by the witness is likely to be diminished because the witness—asuffers from mental disorder within the meaning of the Mental Health Act 1983 ;botherwise has a significant impairment of intelligence and social functioning; orchas a physical disability or is suffering from a physical disorder.Witnesses eligible for assistance on grounds of fear or distress about testifying761A witness (other than a defendant) is eligible for assistance by virtue of this rule if the court is satisfied that the quality of evidence given by the witness is likely to be diminished by reason of fear or distress on the part of the witness in connection with testifying in the proceedings.2A witness is also eligible for assistance by virtue of this rule if—athe proceedings are in respect of—ia sexual offence,iia modern slavery offence, oriiiany other offence where it is alleged that the behaviour of the defendant amounted to domestic abuse;bthe witness is a complainant in respect of that offence; andcthe witness has not informed the court of the witness's wish not to be so eligible.Special measures available771Where a witness (other than a defendant) is eligible for assistance by virtue of rule 75, the special measures available in relation to him are those for which provision is made by sections 23 and 25 to 30 of the 1999 Act.2Where a witness is eligible for assistance by virtue of rule 76, the special measures available in relation to him are those for which provision is made by sections 23 and 25 to 28 of that Act.3Where a defendant is eligible for assistance by virtue of rule 75, the special measures available in relation to him are those for which provision is made by sections 29 and 30 of that Act.4In a domestic abuse case a special measure for which provision is made by any of sections 23 and 25 to 28 of the 1999 Act is only available under paragraph (2) if section 62 of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 (special measures in criminal proceedings for offences involving domestic abuse) is in force for the purposes of that section of the 1999 Act.5In this rule “domestic abuse case” means proceedings falling within rule 91(2)(a) by virtue only of paragraph (iii) of that sub-paragraph.Special measures direction relating to eligible witness781Subject to the special measures provisions and this Chapter, the court may give a special measures direction in relation to a witness if—athe witness is an eligible witness; andbany of the special measures available in relation to the witness (or any combination of them) would, in the court's opinion, be likely to improve the quality of evidence given by the witness.2A special measures direction must specify particulars of the provision made by the direction in respect of each special measure which is to apply to the witness's evidence.3In determining whether any special measure or measures would be likely to improve the quality of evidence given by the witness, and if so whether to give a direction providing for the measure or measures to apply, the court must consider all the circumstances of the case, including in particular—aany views expressed by the witness; andbwhether the measure or measures might tend to inhibit such evidence being effectively tested by a party to the proceedings.4Where there are two or more defendants—aany reference to the defendant in the special measures provisions may be taken, in connection with the giving of a special measures direction, as a reference to all or any of the defendants, as the court may determine; andbany such direction may be given on the basis of any such determination.5A special measures direction may provide for one or more special measures to apply in combination with a direction under rule 18 (live links), and for the purposes of this Chapter a measure would be likely to improve the quality of the witness's evidence if, were it combined with such a direction, it would be likely to do so.6The court may give a special measures direction—aon an application made by a party to the proceedings; orbof its own motion.7A judge advocate who gives, or refuses an application for, a special measures direction must state in open court his reasons for doing so.8Nothing in this Chapter is to be regarded as affecting any power of the court to make an order or give leave of any description—ain relation to a witness who is not an eligible witness; orbin relation to an eligible witness, where the order is made or the leave is given otherwise than by reason of the fact that the witness is an eligible witness.<Addition ChangeId="key-343698c23aefa600369acc264a95e250-1690203371594" CommentaryRef="key-343698c23aefa600369acc264a95e250">Special provisions relating to a child witness</Addition>78A1Where the court is considering giving a special measures direction under rule 78(1) in relation to a child witness the court must—afirst have regards to paragraphs (2) to (6) below; andbthen have regard to rule 78(1);and if the judge advocate is required by paragraphs (2) to (6) to give such a direction, any special measure which must be provided for in the direction under paragraph (2) or (4) is to be treated for the purposes of rule 78(1)(b), as it then applies to the witness, as one which is likely to improve the quality of evidence given by the witness (whether on its own or in combination with any other special measure).2The primary rule in the case of a child witness is that the court must give a special measures direction in relation to the witness which provides for any relevant recording to be admitted under section 27 of the 1999 Act (video recorded evidence in chief).3The primary rule is subject to the following limitations—athe requirement contained in paragraph (2) has effect subject to rule 80(1);bif the witness informs the court of the witness’s wish that the primary rule should not apply or should apply only in part, the rule does not apply to the extent that the court is satisfied that not complying with the rule would not diminish the quality of the witness’s evidence; andcthe rule does not apply to the extent that the court is satisfied that compliance with it would not be likely to improve the quality of the witness’s evidence (whether because the application to that evidence of one or more other special measures available in relation to the witness would have that result or for any other reason).4Where as a consequence of all or part of the primary rule being disapplied under paragraph (3)(b) a witness’s evidence or any part of it would fall to be given as testimony in court, the court must give a special measures direction making such provision as is described in section 23 of the 1999 Act (screening witness from accused) for the evidence or that part of it.5The requirement in paragraph (5) is subject to the following limitations—aif the witness informs the court of the witness’s wish that the requirement in paragraph (4) should not apply, the requirement does not apply to the extent that the court is satisfied that not complying with it would not diminish the quality of the witness’s evidence; andbthe requirement does not apply to the extent that the court is satisfied that making such a provision would not be likely to improve the quality of the witness’s evidence (whether because the application to that evidence of one or more other special measures available in relation to the witness would have that result or for any other reason).6In making a decision under paragraph (3)(b) or (5)(a), the court must take into account the following factors (and any others it considers relevant)—athe age and maturity of the witness;bthe ability of the witness to understand the consequences of giving evidence otherwise than in accordance with the requirements in paragraph (2) or (as the case may be) in accordance with the requirements in paragraph (4);cthe relationship (if any) between the witness and the defendant;dthe witness’s social and cultural background and ethnic origins;ethe nature of the alleged circumstances of the offence to which the proceedings relate.7Where a special measures direction is given in relation to a child witness who is not also an eligible witness in accordance with rule 75(2), then—asubject to paragraph (8) below; andbexcept where the witness has already begun to give evidence in the proceedings,the direction shall cease to have effect at the time when the witness attains the age of 18.8Where a special measures direction is given in relation to a child witness who is not also an eligible witness in accordance with 75(2) and—athe direction provides—ifor any relevant recording to be admitted under section 27 of the 1999 Act as evidence in chief of the witness, oriifor the special measure available under section 28 of the 1999 Act (video recorded cross-examination or re-examination) to apply in relation to the witness; andbif it provides for that special measure to so apply, the witness is still under the age of 18 when the video recording is made for the purposes of section 28;then, so far as it provides as mentioned in sub-paragraph (a)(i) or (ii) above, the direction shall continue to have effect even though the witness subsequently attains that age.9In this rule—aa witness is a “child witness” if the witness is an eligible witness by reason of rule 75(1) (whether or not the witness is an eligible witness by reason of any other provision of rule 75 or 76); andba “relevant recording”, in relation to a child witness, is a video recording of an interview of the witness made with a view to its admission as evidence in chief of the witness.<Addition ChangeId="key-343698c23aefa600369acc264a95e250-1690203407226" CommentaryRef="key-343698c23aefa600369acc264a95e250">Extension of provisions of rule 78A to certain witnesses over 18</Addition>78B1Rule 78(1) and 78A(1) to (3) and (6), so far as relating to the giving of a direction complying with the requirement contained in rule 78A(2), apply to a qualifying witness in respect of a relevant recording made in relation to the witness, as they apply to a child witness (within the meaning of rule 78A).2In this rule—aa witness (other than the defendant) is a “qualifying witness” if the witness—iis not an eligible witness, butiiwas under the age of 18 when the relevant recording was made in relation to the witness; andba “relevant recording”, in relation to a witness, is a video recording of an interview of the witness made with a view to its admission as evidence in chief of the witness.Evidence given in private79A special measures direction may not provide for the exclusion of persons under section 25 of the 1999 Act unless—athe proceedings relate to—ia sexual offence,iia modern slavery offence, oriiiany other offence where it is alleged that the behaviour of the defendant amounted to domestic abuse; orbit appears to the court that there are reasonable grounds for believing that any person other than a defendant has sought, or will seek, to intimidate the witness in connection with testifying in the proceedings.Video recorded evidence in chief801A special measures direction may not provide for a video recording, or a part of such a recording, to be admitted under section 27 of the 1999 Act if the court is of the opinion, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, that in the interests of justice the recording, or that part of it, should not be so admitted.2In considering for the purposes of paragraph (1) whether any part of a recording should not be so admitted, the court must consider whether any prejudice to a defendant which might result from that part being so admitted is outweighed by the desirability of showing the whole, or substantially the whole, of the recorded interview.3Where a special measures direction provides for a recording to be admitted under section 27 of the 1999 Act, the court may nevertheless subsequently direct that it is not to be so admitted if—ait appears to the court that—ithe witness will not be available for cross-examination (whether conducted in the ordinary way or in accordance with any such direction), andiithe parties to the proceedings have not agreed that there is no need for the witness to be so available; orbrule 83 has not been complied with to the satisfaction of the court.4Paragraph (3) is without prejudice to rule 84 (power to vary or discharge special measures direction).5Where a recording is admitted under section 27 of the 1999 Act—athe witness must be called by the party tendering it in evidence, unless –ia special measures direction provides for the witness’s evidence on cross-examination to be given in any recording admissible under section 28 of the 1999 Act (video recorded cross-examination or re-examination), oriithe parties to the proceedings have agreed that there is no need for the witness to be called;

oriiwithout the leave of the court, as to any other matter which, in the opinion of the court, is dealt with in that testimony.6Where a special measures direction provides for part only of a recording to be admitted under section 27 of the 1999 Act, references in paragraphs (3) and (5) to the recording or to the witness's recorded testimony are references to the part of the recording or testimony which is to be so admitted.7The court may give leave for the purposes of paragraph (5)(b)(ii) if it appears to him to be in the interests of justice to do so, and may do so either—aon an application by a party to the proceedings;

andbthe defendant is able to see and hear any such examination and to communicate with any legal representative acting for the defendant (and for this purpose any impairment of eyesight or hearing is to be disregarded).2Where two or more legal representatives are acting for a party to the proceedings, paragraph (1)(a) and (b) are to be regarded as satisfied in relation to those representatives if at all material times they are satisfied in relation to at least one of them.3Where a special measures direction provides for a recording to be admitted under section 28 of the 1999 Act, the court may nevertheless subsequently direct that it is not to be so admitted if any requirement of paragraph (1), these Rules or the direction has not been complied with to the satisfaction of the court.4Where in pursuance of section 28(1) of the 1999 Act a recording has been made of any examination of the witness, the witness may not be subsequently cross-examined or re-examined in respect of any evidence given by the witness in the proceedings (whether in any recording admissible under section 27 (video recorded examination in chief) or 28 of the 1999 Act or otherwise than in such a recording) unless the court gives a further special measures direction making such provision as is mentioned in section 28(1)(a) and (b) of the 1999 Act in relation to any subsequent cross-examination, and re-examination, of the witness.5The court may only give such a further direction if it appears to the court—athat the proposed cross-examination is sought by a party to the proceedings as a result of that party having become aware, since the time when the original recording was made in pursuance of section 28(1) of the 1999 Act, of a matter which that party could not with reasonable diligence have ascertained by then; orbthat for any other reason it is in the interests of justice to give further direction.6Nothing in this rule shall be read as applying in relation to any cross-examination of the witness by the defendant in person (in a case where the defendant is to be able to conduct any such cross-examination).Examination of witness through intermediary811Any examination of a witness conducted in pursuance of a provision included in a special measures direction by virtue of section 29(1) of the 1999 Act (examination of witness through intermediary) must take place—ain the presence of such persons as the direction may provide; andbin circumstances in which the court, and legal representatives acting in the proceedings, are able to see and hear the examination of the witness and to communicate with the intermediary (and for this purpose any impairment of eyesight or hearing is to be disregarded).2Where two or more legal representatives are acting for a party to the proceedings, paragraph (1)(b) is to be regarded as satisfied in relation to those representatives if at all material times it is satisfied in relation to at least one of them.3Before an intermediary begins to act, he shall make a declaration in the following form:I solemnly, sincerely and truly declare that I will well and faithfully communicate the questions and answers and make true explanation of all matters and things as shall be required of me according to the best of my skill and understanding.4In this rule “the intermediary” has the same meaning as in section 29 of the 1999 Act.Application for special measures direction: general821An application for a special measures direction must be made in writing to the court administration officer, unless a judge advocate gives leave for it to be made orally.2A written application must specify—aunless the application is made by a defendant and does not relate to evidence in support of an alibi, the name and date of birth of the witness in relation to whom it is made;bthe special measure or measures sought;cwhere the application is for a direction including provision by virtue of section 27 of the 1999 Act (video recorded evidence in chief), the information mentioned in rule 83(4);dthe grounds on which the applicant asserts—ithat the witness is an eligible witness; andiithat the measure or measures will improve the quality of the witness's evidence;ethe views of the witness as to the matters specified in accordance with sub-paragraph (d);fwhere a previous application for a special measures direction has been refused, any material change of circumstances relied upon in support of the application.3In paragraph (2)(a) “evidence in support of an alibi” has the same meaning as in article 7(5) of the CPIA Order.4A written application must be made, and a copy served on all other parties to the proceedings—awhere the application is made by the Director, not more than 14 days after the Director serves advance information in respect of the charge to which the proposed evidence relates.bwhere the application is made by a defendant, not more than 14 days after the Director complies or purports to comply with article 4 of the CPIA Order.5Notwithstanding paragraph (4), a judge advocate may at his discretion consider a written application made outside the period of 14 days there mentioned.6Where a written application has been made, a judge advocate may—agrant the application without a hearing; orbdirect a hearing.7But the application may not be granted without a hearing unless—aat least 14 days have elapsed since the application was served on each other party to the proceedings, andbno other party has served notice on the court administration officer that he opposes the application.8Any party to the proceedings—amay attend a hearing of the application, and be heard;bmay, with leave of the court, adduce evidence (including expert evidence) at the hearing.Application for special measures direction permitting admission of video recorded evidence in chief831This rule applies where an application is made for a special measures direction including provision by virtue of section 27 of the 1999 Act.2The application must be accompanied by a copy of the video recording which (or part of which) it is proposed to tender in evidence.3Where the application is made by the Director, he must at the same time serve on each defendant a copy of that recording.4The application must include the following information, in so far as not contained in the recording itself—athe date on which the recording was made;bthe times at which the recording commenced and finished, including details of any interruptions;cthe address of the premises where the recording was made, and the usual function of those premises;din relation to each person present at any point during, or immediately before, the recording—ithe name, age and occupation of the person;iithe time for which he was present;
