1.The court or the supervising judge, as the case may be, may, sua sponte or on a litigant's motion, order to the opposing party to appear for examination. A party to be examined shall appear at the hearing scheduled for the same. 2.If a litigant has an acceptable excuse preventing him from appearing in person to testify, his testimony may be heard via means of remote communication. Failing which, the supervising judge may move to his place to hear his testimony. If the examination is taking place before the court, it may delegate one of its judges to examine him. The court or the supervising judge shall determine the date and place of hearing his testimony, and a transcript on the same shall be drawn up and signed by the delegated or supervising judge and the clerk. 3.If a litigant fails to appear for examination without an acceptable excuse, or refuses to answer without legal justification, the court shall draw its own conclusions at its sole discretion and may admit evidence by way of witness testimony and presumptions in cases where the same is not allowed.
