Examination and Cross Examination

The lawyer for the party bringing the case forward and lawyers for any of the other parties to the case (or in some cases, the parties themselves) will all get a chance to ask questions to help you tell the court what you know, and to clarify your answers. This is known as examination and cross-examination.

You should listen carefully and try your best to answer as accurately as you can.

As a witness, you must answer the questions truthfully and tell the court what you know.
