153A: Courts (Remote Participation) Act 2010 does not apply to remote appearances under this subpart

You could also call this:

"Special court rules apply when you appear by video or audio link, not the usual remote rules."

Illustration for Evidence Act 2006

When you are giving or taking evidence in court by audio or video link, the rules in the Courts (Remote Participation) Act 2010 do not apply. This is because you are following the rules set out in sections 168 to 172 or 173 to 180 of the Evidence Act. These rules explain how to use audio and video links in court.
