If you have to apply for leave and have difficulties, the lawyer may be able to give you a letter to assist you in obtaining leave. If the hearing in Court is for more than one day, find out from the lawyer approximately when you are required to attend Court so that your time may be saved. Trials in Court are conducted in English. If you require an interpreter, inform the lawyer so that he can ensure that an interpreter is made available on the day of the hearing. What you and the other witnesses say will help the Judge to find out what really happened in a case.
Many people feel nervous when they have to appear in Court as a witness.
You do not need to be. What a witness has to do is not difficult. As a witness, your duty is to answer questions put to you by lawyers, prosecutors or the Judge truthfully. You should not alter your evidence to benefit anyone or try to influence the evidence of any other witness. If you want more advice on what to wear, ask the lawyer or prosecutor who requested you to give evidence as a witness.
