A witness
A witness is someone who knows facts pertinent to a case. A witness may also give opinion evidence of matters of an expert nature or may be called to give evidence of the character of the person charged with an offence. The information given to the court by a witness is recorded as evidence, which is used to determine a judgment in the case.
In criminal trials, witnesses may be required by the prosecution (the side bringing the charge to court), or by the defence (the person charged and his/her lawyer). In the Court, criminal matters are prosecuted by the National Prosecution Office (NPO)
In civil trials, witnesses may be required by the plaintiff (the side bringing the action to court) or the defendant (the person defending the action).
The notice that the court issues to a witness to attend court are called a Summons. If a person (witness) was summoned and failed to turn up to give evidence, the Court may issued a warrant to bring that person to Court straight away.
