Cap. 12 чл. 204Party may plead personally or through advocate.

(1)(a)The parties, either personally or through their advocates or, in the inferior courts, either personally or through their advocates or legal procurators, shall have the right to make their submissions in writing or orally as the court may decide, by the plaintiff submitting his case and the defendant making his answer:

Provided that the court may in appropriate circumstances allow a further reply by the plaintiff and a rejoinder by the defendant.

(b) When the trial of the cause is closed, no further evidence shall be allowed, except for just cause and by leave of the court.

(2) If more than one advocate appears for the same party, it shall be lawful, if such party be the plaintiff, for one advocate to state the case and for another to make the reply and, if such party be the defendant, for one advocate to make the answer and for another to make the rejoinder. The advocates may also distribute among themselves the several issues of the controversy and the evidence.

(3) Nevertheless, in all cases the court is empowered to rule out from the oral pleading all matter which, in its opinion, may be calculated to cause useless delay, or consists in repetition, or is irrelevant or extraneous to the cause.
