4 Matters that the court must take into account
Before deciding whether, and on what terms, to make a direction under section 85A(2), the court must take into account—
(a) the need for the administration of justice to be, as far as possible, open and transparent;
(b) the timing of any request or application to the court or tribunal to make a direction, and its impact on the business of the court or tribunal;
(c) the extent to which the technical, human and other resources necessary to facilitate effective remote observation are or can be made available;
(d) any limitation imposed by or under any enactment on the persons who are entitled to be present at the proceedings;
(e) any issues which might arise if persons who are outside the United Kingdom are among those watching or listening to the transmission;
(f) any impact which the making or withholding of such a direction, or the terms of the direction, might have upon—
(i) the content or quality of the evidence to be put before the court or tribunal;
(ii) public understanding of the law and the administration of justice;
(iii) the ability of the public, including the media, to observe and scrutinise the proceedings;
(iv) the safety and right to privacy of any person involved with the proceedings.
