Clause 133

applies to a committal hearing relating to any charge for a sexual offence. Subclause (2) requires the informant to be represented by a legal practitioner. The clause lists those allowed to be present while the complainant is giving evidence or a recording of their evidence or examination under clause 106 is being played. The clause gives a discretion to the court to authorise a person to be present at this time, although it must give reasons for doing so.
