Description

1. In all trials before a Court of Session, the evidence of each witness shall be recorded in writing as the examination proceeds. This may be done either by the presiding Judge, by his dictation in open Court, or—under his direction and supervision—by a Court officer appointed for this purpose.
2. The evidence shall generally be recorded in a narrative form. However, the presiding Judge may, at his discretion, choose to record any portion of the evidence in a question-and-answer format.
3. The recorded evidence shall be signed by the presiding Judge and shall become part of the official case record.
