reg 93B Extension of provisions of rule 93A to certain witnesses over 18
(1) Rule 93(1) and 93A(1) to (3) and (6), so far as relating to the giving of a direction complying with the requirement contained in rule 93A(2), apply to a qualifying witness in respect of a relevant recording made in relation to the witness, as they apply to a child witness (within the meaning of rule 93A). (2) In this rule— (a) a witness (other than the defendant) is a “qualifying witness” if the witness— (i) is not an eligible witness, but (ii) was under the age of 18 when the relevant recording was made in relation to the witness; and (b) a “relevant recording”, in relation to a witness, is a video recording of an interview of the witness made with a view to its admission as evidence in chief of the witness.
