reg 168 Preparation for the trial
If you are asked to give evidence at the trial you are entitled to: (1) see your video recorded or written statement shortly before the trial to help you remember what you said when you told the Service police what happened to you. The Service Police will arrange this for you; (2) if you made a written statement, it will be available for you on the day. If you made a video recorded statement, arrangements will be made for you to view this separately before the trial; (3) be informed by the Military Court Service staff about what will happen on the day. The Service Prosecuting Authority advocate will explain the Special Measures available to help you (see paragraphs 53 and 54 of this Code); (4) be told by the Military court Service how you can get leaflets that help you understand what will happen when you give evidence to a court; (5) if you are due to attend court as a witness, visit the court before the trial to see what it looks like. You should see the court room and practice using Special Measures equipment like video links or screens around the witness box depending on what the court has ordered. Where possible, you will get to meet the staff who will help you on the day.
