Explanation:
Van oudsher leggen getuigen ter terechtzitting een “evidence-in-chief” (“hoofdverklaring”) af in antwoord op niet suggestieve vragen van de advocaat van de partij die hen heeft opgeroepen. Thans geldt een schriftelijke getuigenverklaring evenwel als “evidence-in-chief” tenzij het gerecht anders beveelt.
