Questioning in respect of private life of victim
|
| |
21. In any proceedings relating to an offence, where a court is satisfied that—
|
| |
(a) the nature or circumstances of the case are such that there is a need to protect a victim of the offence from secondary and repeat victimisation, intimidation or retaliation, and
|
| |
(b) it would not be contrary to the interests of justice in the case,
|
| |
the court may give such directions as it considers just and proper regarding any evidence adduced or sought to be adduced and any question asked in cross-examination at the trial, which relates to the private life of a victim and is unrelated to the offence.
