- High Court
Leave to cross-examine H was refused because the court found, on the substance of the evidence, a clear mutuality of interest and evidence of communication between H and the respondent's agent indicating alignment; however, the respondent was permitted to ask questions of H of the type used when leading one's own witness provided they are not leading, with the judge to intervene if questions become leading.
