Rule 6IB Application for rescission of a direction

An application to rescind a direction for a witness to give evidence through a live link under Article 11(5)(a) of Criminal Justice (Northern Ireland) Order 2004 shall be made in writing and shall specify each material change of circumstances which the applicant alleges has occurred since the direction was made.

An application under paragraph (1) shall be served on the chief clerk and on every other party to the appeal as soon as is reasonably practicable after the change in circumstances occurs.

Any party on whom a copy of the notice under paragraph (2) is served may oppose the application on the ground that it discloses no material change of circumstances.

Paragraphs (4) to (9) of Rule 6IA shall apply to an application to rescind a live link direction as they apply to an application for a live link direction.]
