(2) An application under paragraph (1) shall be made by serving a notice in writing on the Registrar which shall state:
(a)the grounds of the application,
(b)the date of birth of the witness,
(c)the name of the witness, and
(d)the name, occupation and relationship (if any) to the witness of the person proposed to accompany the witness, if known.
(3) An application under paragraph (1) shall be made at the same time as the application for leave to call the witness or at any time thereafter, but no less than 14 days before the date fixed for the hearing of the appeal except with the leave of the court.
(4) The Registrar shall, as soon as practicable after receiving an application under paragraph (1) send a copy of the notice to the other parties to the appeal.
(5) An application under paragraph (1) shall be determined without a hearing, unless the Court otherwise directs, and the Registrar shall notify the applicant and the other parties of the time and place of any such hearing.
(6) Without prejudice to rule 15, the Registrar shall notify all the parties of the decision of the court in relation to an application under paragraph (1) and, where leave is granted, the notification shall state the name of the witness, and, if known, the name, occupation and relationship (if any) to the witness of the person who is to accompany the witness.
(7) A witness under the age of 14 shall, when giving evidence through a television link, be accompanied by a person acceptable to the Court and, unless the Court otherwise directs, by no other person.”
