Article 372Examination of Witnesses

第三百七十二条(証人等の尋問)

It is permissible to examine a witness without having the witness swear under oath.

証人の尋問は、宣誓をさせないですることができる。

The witnesses and the parties themselves are examined in the order that the judge finds appropriate.

証人又は当事者本人の尋問は、裁判官が相当と認める順序でする。

If the court finds it to be appropriate, it may examine a witness, as provided for by the Rules of the Supreme Court, in a way that enables the court, the parties, and the witness to communicate with one another at the same time, through audio transmissions.

裁判所は、相当と認めるときは、最高裁判所規則で定めるところにより、裁判所及び当事者双方と証人とが音声の送受信により同時に通話をすることができる方法によって、証人を尋問することができる。
