Law of Evidence

1. A person who is summoned to court to take an oath must attend the scheduled hearing. 2. If the person who is demanded to take an oath appears in person and does not contest the admissibility of the oath or its relevance to the case, he shall take the oath immediately or tender it back to the adverse litigant. If he refuses to take the oath, fails to tender it back to the adverse litigant, or fails to appear without justification, he shall be deemed to have declined to take the oath. 3. If the person who is demanded to take the oath appears in person but contests the admissibility of the oath or its relevance to the case, he shall provide grounds therefor. If the court is not convinced of such grounds, he shall take the oath; otherwise, he shall be deemed to have declined to take the oath.
