Another day in court...
Originally, today was supposed to be the day that the judge gives his verdict... but since he didnt bring his witnesses in the last trial, he was given today to produce his witnesses, and the day that the judge puts down his gavel was moved to 22nd Oct...
But what do u know... he tried to pull his stunt again today...
He has made a decision to not give his statement in the witness stand, but instead submitted an affidavit to the court a few days ago. But suddenly today he requested to give an oral testimony to add to his affidavit. My lawyer quickly objected because there is a section, 116(1) I think, that said when an affidavit has already been submitted, any additions must be done in writing too, not orally in court.
When my lawyer objected and the judge accepted, his lawyer requested that the additions to be submitted in the next trial and another date shall be chosen for the judge to give his decision. To this, my lawyer again objected and said, he should submit the additions by 31st July and the 22nd Oct still remains as the date for the verdict.
Fortunately, the judge agreed. Phuh... so 22nd Oct it is....
