I have no idea what the legal meaning of "effectively" is, but in the context I would imagine the judge was saying "conceal or do not conceal". "Effectively concealing" in the context is almost a tautology, but could be taken to be a vague statement meaning to "appear to conceal", i.e. not necessarily concealing at all. Good call, judge! Was he a Kiwi?
