Reply #17: In camera means [View All]

out of view of the public (i.e. in this case, not in a courtroom open to the public, which is the usual default position). The motion likely took place in the judge's chambers.

And since it was also Ex parte - which means without notice required to the opposing party and without the other party (in this case, the defence since it was Fitzgerald's motion) being entitled to notice of it, without being entitled to respond to it, and without being able to attend or argue against it - it means that the motion was probably heard by Reggie in his chambers with just Fitz and perhaps a court reporter present (and, assuming there was a court reporter present, the record will not be made public at this point, if ever) and that the defence did not have any opportunity to respond to it or argue against it, etc.


Edit for clarity.
