prohibits a witness whose address or telephone number was not disclosed to the accused (under Part 4.4) as part of the hand-up brief from disclosing that information to the court unless the court permits disclosure on an application made by either party. The clause lists the matters of which the court must be satisfied before it grants the application. When first called to give evidence, a witness is asked questions to identify them. The purpose of this clause is to indicate that a witness should not normally be asked to disclose their address or telephone number.
