submitted 70 years ago by ch. 1041 to r/title-10-ARMED-FORCES · 64 words · no verdicts yet
This section sets rules for questioning witnesses before prize commissioners. It also limits access to questions and papers and requires certain neutral witnesses to be released promptly.
Witnesses before the prize commissioners must be questioned separately, on interrogatories prescribed by the court, in the manner usual in prize courts. Without special authority from the court, the witnesses may not see the interrogatories, documents, or papers, or consult with counsel or with other persons interested in the cause. Witnesses who have the rights of neutrals must be discharged as soon as practicable.
