Cross Examination

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 29 January 2011 This query is : Resolved
Dear Experts:

Defendent advocate is asking highly personal and embarrasing questions (but only vaguly relevant) in open court. Please enlight me on what sort of questions may be/may NOT be asked during cross of witness. What is the remedy in such cases viz., Can I ask for answering such questions confidentially/refuse to answer without affecting my case?

Regards.,
