(1) Despite anything to the contrary in the Magistrates' Court Act 1989 and
the Rules made under that Act, evidence before the Court on the hearing of an
application or a reference may be given in writing, or partly in writing, and
may be given by a statutory declaration.

(2) However, the Court must not receive evidence from any person who is not
available for cross-examination, unless each party to the hearing consents to
it doing so.

(3) Any consent given under subsection (2) forms part of the record of the
Court.
