The Court may, at any stage of a civil proceeding, and subject to such conditions, if any, as the Court imposes, direct that the trial be had or continued at a place specified in the order.
Where a person is required to appear before the Court, or has appeared before the Court, at a particular place in a criminal proceeding, the Court may, at any time, upon good cause being shown:
order that that proceeding be had or continued, or that a person appear for sentence, before the Court at another place; and
make such further orders, including orders as to bail and recognizances, as it considers necessary in the circumstances.
When an application for an order under subsection (2) is made, evidence may be given orally or by affidavit.
