No there is no provision. After 5 hearings that were aborted, they brought my client by force.
Hi All,
My client is a serving prisoner facing 2 indictable only offences at HCMC. He is in a prison which doesn’t have VL facilities. He really doesn’t want to be produced for the first hearing as this will completely disrupt his current education.
Ive written to the court asking for this to be done in his absence with written authority from him. However, I’m aware there is no legal provision to do so; I was hoping perhaps they would see fit to exercise their inherent jurisdiction – a long shot I know.
Has anyone had any experience of this and succeeded?
Thanks.
Jude
