Witness statements should be prepared with proper care and attention. This is because the court usually orders that a witness statement stands as the witness's evidence-in-chief (or examination-in-chief) at the trial.A good witness statement should be concise in style but comprehensive in contents, covering all the facts relevant to the case. If the plaintiff and the defendant intend to give their own oral evidence in court, they should prepare their own witness statements as well. 2  However, it is important to note that the plaintiff and the defendant can elect not to give evidence during the trial but only call their witnesses to give evidence.
