Special Measures in Civil Cases Mirror Those in Criminal Cases

question 10

True/False

Special measures in civil cases mirror those in criminal cases. CPR Rule 32.3 allows a witness to give evidence via livelink but there is not the vast array of means of special measures. Instead, a witness may avoid giving evidence altogether by the admission of their statement as hearsay under a judge's wide discretion over evidence.
