Judges' Guidelines

Judges' Guidelines are a set of principles and rules that judges follow when making decisions about sensitive cases, such as those involving vulnerable witnesses or close relationships, to ensure fairness and consistency. They help judges determine how to manage evidence, witness testimony, and legal procedures while considering factors like the well-being of those involved. Essentially, these guidelines promote fair treatment and thorough decision-making by providing a framework that balances the interests of justice with the needs of individuals involved in the case.
