provides that a witness (who is not a witness in the sexual offence cases referred to in clause 123) can only be cross- examined when leave is granted under this clause. The case direction notice (clauses 119 and 120) may indicate that the informant consents to leave being granted to the accused to cross-examine a witness. Where this occurs, subclause (2) provides that the court must grant leave unless it considers that it is inappropriate to do so. Where the informant does not consent to leave, before the court grants leave it must be satisfied that the accused has identified an issue to which the proposed questioning relates and has provided a reason why the evidence of the witness is relevant to that issue and cross-examination of the witness on that issue is justified. This is sometimes described as the "hurdle" test as it requires the accused to identify one issue on which cross-examination should be permitted. If that test is satisfied, the witness may be cross-examined. Clause 132 then provides the court with the power to forbid a question during cross-examination if the accused cannot meet the same test which is applied at this stage. Subclause (4) sets out considerations to which the court must have regard in determining whether cross-examination is justified. Subclause (5) includes separate considerations to which the court must have regard where the witness is under 18 years old. These considerations apply in addition to those set out under subclause (4). They recognise that different procedures are required when children and young people are involved with the criminal justice system.
