Record of witness evidence: magistrates must ensure written or audio video recording, signed and included in the court record.

Testimony in warrant cases must be recorded in writing as examination proceeds by the Magistrate, his dictation, or under his direction by an appointed officer; audio-video electronic recording in the presence of the accused's advocate is permitted. If the Magistrate cannot personally take down evidence, he must certify the reason. Evidence is ordinarily recorded in narrative form, though parts may be taken in question-and-answer; the recorded evidence must be signed by the Magistrate and form part of the record.
