Stands for
GRH — Pre-trial hearing where the court sets how a vulnerable witness will be questioned.
How it works in KallosSim
- In practice language — Pre-trial hearing where the court sets how a vulnerable witness will be questioned.
- What it means — A Ground Rules Hearing lets the judge, advocates, and (where appointed) Registered Intermediary agree adaptations for trial questioning — for example topic limits, question length, prohibition of tag questions, and scheduled breaks. The RI's communication assessment informs the court; advocates must comply with the rules once set. In KallosSim this is a Witness Intermediary process stage, not a Legal Advocacy oral-submission stage.
- In KallosSim — Cases and formative debriefs may reference this concept when your sector pack and card selections call for it.
Training only. Fictional AI-generated cases only — not legal advice, not live decision support, not a substitute for supervision.
What it is not
- A substitute for reading primary statute or your organisation’s procedures.
- Competence assessment, ASYE sign-off, or Bar / SRA / CIPD accreditation.
- Advice for a live family, employee, client, or court matter.
