IN CAMERA
Sir,—Can you enlighten me on the following? What is meant by a case being held in camera, and a case being held in chambers. To whom do these privileges apply and why?—Yours, etc., LIKE TO KNOW. May 21, 1946. [The Registrar of the Supreme Court in Christchurch (Mr E. G. Rhodes), to whom this letter was referred, in a brief comment, said: “A case is said to be heard ‘in camera’ when the public is excluded from the Court. The reason is usually because of public morals, or when injustice would be done, e.g., cases concerning process of manufacture. Chambers are quasi-private rooms in which the. Judge disposes of private and other matters not sufficiently important to be heard and argued in Court. The jurisdiction of a Judge ‘in carnera’ depends partly on Statute and partly on the common law. The above is open to each and every litigant according to the circumstances of a case.”]
