Section 14C of the Criminal Evidence Act 1992, as inserted by section 36 of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Act 2017, requires new rules of court in order to be fully implementable. I understand that such rules are currently being drafted and will then be approved by the relevant Rules of Court Committee. The section will be commenced as soon as possible after the finalisation of these rules.
