4.9 Filming and photographing in and around the court for other purposes
Requests are sometimes made to use court facilities to film documentaries and movies.
In these instances you should prepare a proposal for the court services manager, advising what you would like to film, when filming would take place and the purpose of the filming.
The court services manager will consider your proposal, taking into account various factors including the availability of the facilities and any security concerns.
The court services manager will work with you on the logistics of filming if your proposal is approved.
