KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – In Camera
In camera refers to court proceedings that are held in private rather than in open court. Although the general principle of justice requires hearings to be public, courts may order proceedings to take place in camera where confidentiality is necessary. This may occur in cases involving national security, the protection of vulnerable witnesses, sensitive personal information, or matters of public morality. Specific procedural rules govern when and how courts may lawfully exclude the public.
