35 Evidence Act 2006 trans-Tasman evidence regime governs remote appearances related to remote evidence

1 This subpart applies only to a remote appearance by or on behalf of a party to a civil proceeding, and that is a remote appearance to do things other than all or any of the following:

a) give evidence:

b) examine a person giving remote evidence:

c) make submissions in relation to remote evidence.

a) sections 168 to 172 of that Act (which enable a New Zealand court, as defined in section 150 of that Act, and in any proceeding before it, to receive remote evidence, and examination and submissions in relation to remote evidence, by audio link or audiovisual link from Australia); and

b) sections 173 to 180 of that Act (which enable an Australian court, as defined in section 150 of that Act, and in any proceeding before it, to take remote evidence, and receive examination and submissions in relation to remote evidence, by audio link or audiovisual link from New Zealand).
