The court, upon petition or sua sponte, may examine the parties themselves. To do so, the court may have the party in question swear under oath.
裁判所は、申立てにより又は職権で、当事者本人を尋問することができる。この場合においては、その当事者に宣誓をさせることができる。
If examining both a witness and one of the parties themselves, the court examines the witness first; provided, however, that when the court finds it appropriate, it may examine the party in question first, after hearing the opinions of the parties.
証人及び当事者本人の尋問を行うときは、まず証人の尋問をする。ただし、適当と認めるときは、当事者の意見を聴いて、まず当事者本人の尋問をすることができる。
