(1)

This section applies if—

(a)

a relevant proceeding is a trial by jury; and

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.
