Article 53 Examination of witnesses
A witness may be—
examined by the party which called him;
cross-examined by any other party to the proceedings; and
on the conclusion of any cross-examination, re-examined by the party which called him on matters arising out of the cross-examination.
The person examining a witness shall question the witness orally and unless an objection is made the witness shall reply immediately.
An objection may be made by the witness, the judge advocate, the prosecutor or the accused whereupon the witness shall not reply until the objection has been disposed of.
The judge advocate may allow a request that the cross-examination or re-examination of a witness be postponed if he is satisfied that there is a good reason for such a request and that there is no injustice to the accused in doing so.
