The clause provides a discretion to the court to rule that a statement, any exhibit or document referred to in a statement or the contents of a recording is inadmissible in whole or in part. The clause provides that a recording, a transcript of which has been served in the hand-up brief, is admissible if it is proved that the accused and their legal practitioner were provided with a reasonable opportunity to listen to or view (as applicable) the recording.

This clause deals with the evidentiary status of the materials contained in that brief.
