<h1>Magistrates in warrant-cases can record witness evidence via writing, dictation, or audio-video; delegation requires certification.</h1> In warrant-cases tried before a Magistrate, each witness's evidence is recorded in writing as the examination proceeds. This can be done by the Magistrate, by dictation in open court, or by an appointed officer if the Magistrate is incapacitated. Evidence may also be recorded by audio-video means in the presence of the accused's advocate. If the Magistrate delegates this task, a certificate explaining the inability to personally record must be provided. Evidence is typically recorded as a narrative, but may be in question-and-answer format at the Magistrate's discretion. The recorded evidence must be signed by the Magistrate and included in the case record.
