Pereira, Q.C.  \nWith thanks to Brett J. Maerz and P. Willemien  \nKruger  \n| Why object? |\n| --- |\n|  |\n\nHow to Object –at trial  \n• Make your objection before the witness has an opportunity to answer the question .  \n• Stand up to get the court’s attention .  \n• If the judge has not noticed that you are standing, you can try to get the judge’s attention by saying “Your Honour (or “My Lord” or “Justice”, depending on local practice), I have an objection”.  \n• Succinctly state the grounds for your objection . Direct your submission to the judge, not opposing counsel.  \n• Sit down when you have finished stating the reason for your objection . The judge may give the opposing counsel a chance to respond before ruling.  \n• Rise again if the judge gives you a chance to respond to examining counsel’s argument.  \n• Get the ruling on the record. If the judge’s ruling is not clear, ask for clarification . This may be important on appeal.  \nHow to Object –at questioning  \nQueen’s Bench Rule 5-27 provides:  \nObjections by witness  \n5-27( 1 ) If a person being questioned objects to any question or questions put to him or her, the official court reporter shall take down:  \n(a) the question or questions so put; and  \n(b) the objection of the witness to the question or questions .  \n( 2 ) The questioning party shall file the questions and objections mentioned in subrule ( 1 ) with the local registrar in whose office the proceedings are pending.  \n( 3 ) On application, the Court shall decide the validity of any objections .  \nABUSIVE OR HARRASSING  \nOBJECTION: The questioning is unduly harsh and oppressive, and is designed to bully or badger, demean or ridicule .  \nTEST: Unnecessarily aggressive cross-examination will not be tolerated. A lawyer must not needlessly abuse or harass a witness (Rule 5.1-2(m) of The Law Society of Saskatchewan Code of Professional Conduct) .  \nSK CASELAW: Newbigging v. Loewen Group Inc ., 1994 CarswellSask 171 (SKQB) cites N.W. Hullah Corp. v. Aluminum Co. of Canada, 1959 CarswellBC 54 (BCCA), at para 12, which states:  \nIt is true a main object of discovery examination is to secure admissions, and to obtain information regarding facts so that a party may not be taken by surprise at the trial; but this is not to sanction harassing discovery examination nor to approve of circumventions or inversions of the accepted use of the rules for discovery.  \nAMBIGUOUS OR VAGUE  \nOBJECTION: This question is vague .  \nTEST: A witness does not have to answer a question that is ambiguous or vague, confusing, unclear, overly broad or misleading. The court may intervene to curtail or clarify questions that are vague, wordy or repetitive .  \nThe Law Society of Saskatchewan Code of Professional Conduct s . 5.4:  \nConduct During Witness Preparation and Testimony  \n5.4-2  \nA lawyer must not influence a witness or potential witness to give evidence that is false, misleading or evasive.  \n5.4 Commentary  \n[ 2] A lawyer may prepare a witness, for discovery and for appearances before tribunals, by discussing courtroom and questioning procedures and the issues in the case, reviewing facts, refreshing memory, and by discussing admissions, choice of words and demeanour. It is, however, improper to direct or encourage a witness to misstate or misrepresent the facts or to give evidence that is intentionally evasive or vague.  \nAMBIGUOUS OR VAGUE (Continued)  \nSK CASELAW: Braden v Knisley, 2010 SKQB 335 at paras . 49-55. Specifically, at para 53 the Court states:  \nAn examination for discovery is in the nature of cross-examination and counsel for the party being examined should not interfere except where it is clearly necessary to resolve ambiguity in a question or to prevent injustice . Rigid limitations rigidly applied can negatively affect the right to a proper examination for discovery.  \nAPOLOGY  \nOBJECTION: This is an apology and an apology is inadmissible evidence as determined by ","cbCaitP4yWwZIruL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitP4yWwZIruL","pdf",414954,"English","# Why object?\n# How to Object - at trial\n## Core steps for objecting\n# How to Object - at questioning\n## Queen’s Bench Rule 5-27 overview\n# Objection types and supporting authorities\n## Abusive or harassing\n## Ambiguous or vague\n## Apology inadmissibility\n## Argumentative questions\n## Needless repetition","[{\"question\":\"When should a lawyer make an objection during trial?\",\"answer\":\"Make the objection before the witness has an opportunity to answer the question.
