If you have made an affidavit,
the person or lawyer who asked you to come to Court will
ask questions to confirm your name, address and the content
of your affidavit.
If your evidence is not in an
affidavit, you will give it by answering questions.
Sometimes, even when a witness’s
evidence is in affidavit form, a lawyer or person involved
in a case may ask the Judge if they can ask you questions
about a topic which is not covered, or covered properly,
in the affidavit.
In this case, your evidence will
also be presented through questions and answers.
Sometimes, the lawyer or person
who first called you to give evidence may ask to re-examine
you to clarify the evidence which you gave.
