(a)by any inferences that might be drawn from the fact that the accused has been prevented from cross-examining the witness in person;
(b)where the witness has been cross-examined by a legal representative appointed under section 38(4), by the fact that the cross-examination was carried out by such a legal representative and not by a person acting as the accused’s own legal representative.
