Notes

• From 1 August 2013 all proceedings of the High Court will be recorded whenever a judge is in court. There will be no change to current arrangements for transcription. In the usual course only criminal proceedings and evidence in civil procedures will be transcribed. This usual practice is of course subject to variation by judicial direction.
