Law of Evidence

1. The court may, on its own motion or the motion of a litigant, summon the adverse litigant for questioning. The summoned litigant shall attend the scheduled hearing. 2. If, without an acceptable justification, a litigant fails to appear for questioning or refuses to answer questions, the court may draw its own conclusions and may accept as evidence witness testimonies and presumptions in cases where such evidence is inadmissible. 3. The provision of paragraph (2) of this Article shall apply to any litigant who fails to come before the court or refuses to answer the questions.
