Under Part 32, the court controls evidence by directing on which aspect?

• A. The issues upon which evidence is required
• B. The color of the evidence
• C. The duration of the trial
• D. The cost of submissions

Answer: (A)

Part 32 gives the court power to control evidence by directing on the issues on which evidence is required. This keeps the evidence focused on the matters that truly need to be decided, making the process more efficient and preventing irrelevant or unnecessary evidence from crowding the hearing. The court can specify that witnesses or documents are only needed to address those defined issues, shaping the scope of what must be produced and considered. The other options don’t fit this purpose because they refer to unrelated aspects—such as the appearance of the evidence, how long the trial lasts, or the costs of submissions—which are not the specific evidential control exercised under Part 32.
