Evans instructed A to release his grip. There was a tussle during which the 
Civil Justice Centre's security staff and Mr Evans tried, and eventually 
succeeded, in obtaining A to release Mr Evans. The event is captured on 
CCTV which will be played at the appeal hearing. A stated that he was 
attempting a lawful citizen's arrest because he alleges that Mr Evans had 
perverted the course of justice when he (Mr Evans) previously appeared for 
the Crown in A's othe/s matters. 

APPLICATION 

2_1 
The matter is neither a sexuai offence, nor involves a child witness and 
therefore the relevant section is s.36 Youth Jtlstice and Criminal Evidence Act 
I999 (hereafter "the act".) 

2.2 
An application is made for the Court to prevent A from cross examining 
Gareth Evans (lP), Sonny Saar (security guard) and John Thomas (security 
guard) pursuant to section 36 of the Act. 
2.3 
It is feared that if A were permitted to cross examine directly, the cross 
examination would be unduly lengthy, that is would be repetitious and 
encroach on irrelevant matters. lt is the Crown's position that Mr Evans in 
particular was under cross examination for a particularly long time during the 
Magistrates' Court and some matters put to him were of an improper nature.
