Abstract:	If mental health courts-or in the UK Problem Solving Courts (Centre for Justice Innovation 2015)-become more widespread, then video recording of the first court hearing and a judicial discussion of the material may add value, particularly if the case is referred back to the court for review. Unlike other aspects of video-recording, these techniques have been studied and reported upon and it has been found that patients like the presence of a camera; it makes them feel safer, violent incidents are reduced and patients reported that they believe staff are more careful in what they say and do, when cameras are about (Tully et al., 2015, Ellis et al., 2019, Kmietowicz, 2017). In some countries, in civil cases, changes in a patient may be demonstrated by serial recordings; further, video-recordings have the potential for saving children and seriously traumatised victims from having to appear in person in court, particularly in sex abuse cases.
