I move amendment No. 14:

In page 18, between lines 25 and 26, to insert the following:

"Hearing of appeal of high-risk vendor measure other than in public 30.(1) The High Court shall exclude, from the hearing of an appeal of a high-risk vendor measure or a variation in such measure before it, all persons except—

(a) a judge hearing the matter,

(b) a judicial assistant, or other court personnel, whose presence is necessary for the judge to hear the matter,

(c) the parties to the proceedings,

(d) the legal representatives of the parties to the proceedings, and

(e) a witness whose evidence is relevant to the proceedings, for as long as the witness's presence is required for the purpose of providing such evidence, unless it is satisfied that the interests of justice require any other person not to be so excluded.".
