Cardinal Pell will not be giving evidence in Melbourne next week. Cardinal Pell’s legal representative AJ Myers QC made an application
for Cardinal Pell to give evidence by video link at his scheduled
appearance on Wednesday 16 December 2015. The basis of this application
was the Cardinal’s current state of health.
Justice McClellan refused this application, preferring the Cardinal to give his evidence in person. Justice McClellan noted that Cardinal Pell had previously agreed to give evidence in person.
