What is re-examination of a witness under BSA section 142(3)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Section 142(3) identifies both the stage and the party, so re-examination is "Examination after cross-examination by the party who originally called the witness". Neither "Merely recalling a witness, regardless of who examines the witness or at what stage" nor "Any repeated questioning, regardless of the examining party or stage" is correct, since mere recall or repetition does not establish this classification, and "No examination after cross-examination can be re-examination" contradicts the definition; section 143(3) directs re-examination to explaining matters raised in cross-examination, with permission required for new matter.
