Witness Testimony and Questioning

In Simple Terms

When witnesses give statements in F1 hearings, they can only answer questions about written evidence unless the hearing president approves otherwise. The president can also order witnesses to stay separate and not talk to each other to keep their testimony independent.

• Witnesses are limited to answering questions about written evidence in proceedings
• The hearing president has authority to allow exceptions to the written evidence limitation
• The president can order witnesses to remain isolated and prevent them from communicating with other witnesses
• This rule ensures testimony integrity and prevents coordination between witnesses
