EVIDENCE (MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS) ACT 1991 - SECT 57

        (a)     a relevant proceeding is a trial by jury; and

        (b)     an audiovisual recording is admitted in evidence in the proceeding.

    (2)     The court must tell the jury that—

        (a)     admission of the audiovisual recording is a usual practice; and

        (b)     the jury must not draw any inference against the accused person, or give the evidence more or less weight, because the evidence is given in that way.

    (3)     If the court considers that a transcript of the audiovisual recording would be likely to help the jury's understanding of the evidence, the court may order that the transcript be made available to the jury.
