EVIDENCE ACT 1995 No. 2 of 1995 - SECT 29

Manner and form of questioning witnesses and their responses
29. (1) A party may question a witness in any way the party thinks fit, except
as provided by this Chapter or as directed by the court.

(2) A witness may give evidence wholly or partly in narrative form if:

   (a)  the party that called the witness has applied to the court for a
        direction that the witness give evidence in that form; and

   (b)  the court so directs.

(3) Such a direction may include directions about the way in which evidence is
to be given in that form.

(4) Evidence may be given in the form of charts, summaries or other
explanatory material if it appears to the court that the material would be
likely to aid its comprehension of other evidence that has been given or is to
be given.
