People who are compelled to attend court, such as criminal defendants, will be able to enter into the court even if they do not meet the safety requirements, and this is because the requirements cannot override the legislation regulating who is entitled to attend court. Judges will also be able to override the safety requirements on a case by case basis, and this means people who do not meet the requirements will be able to enter court or be eligible to serve as a juror where a judge determines this is in the interests of justice. In addition, the requirements must be consistent with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act.
