Rule 44 Inspection of witness statementsI1

Subject to rules 49 (privacy and restrictions on disclosure) and 93 (national security proceedings) and the following paragraphs, any witness statement which stands as evidence in chief must be available for inspection during the course of the hearing by those attending the hearing.

Where a hearing is conducted by electronic communication under rule 46 (hearings by electronic communication), inspection of any witness statement may be otherwise than during the course of a hearing.

This rule does not apply where the Tribunal decides that all or any part of a witness statement is not to be admitted as evidence, in which case the witness statement or that part must not be available for inspection.
