Children's Evidence: Closed Circuit TV (ALRC 63)
In 1988, at the suggestion of the then Australian Capital Territory Chief Magistrate, Mr Ron Cahill, the federal Attorney-General agreed that the Australian Law Reform Commission and the ACT Magistrates Court should examine the use of closed circuit television for children who give evidence in court.
The Commission's final report, Children's Evidence: Closed Circuit TV (ALRC 63), tabled in 1993, evaluates a 12-month trial period using closed circuit television in the ACT Magistrates Court, Children's Court and Coroner's Court.
There has been substantial implementation of the Commission's recommendations in ALRC 63.
