When you are a witness in a trial, you will give evidence. After that, someone may ask you more questions, which is called cross-examination. If you are questioned again after cross-examination, this is called re-examination. You can be asked about things that came up when you were cross-examined, including anything that changed what you said earlier. You cannot be asked about other things unless the Judge says it is okay.

If the Judge gives permission for you to be asked about other things, the Judge must let the other parties ask you questions about what you just said. The Judge may also let you be asked more questions about what came up during those extra questions. This is all part of making sure everyone has a chance to ask questions and get the information they need.
