What information must be included in the certificate for a witness?

The certificate for a witness must include the facts of the case and the number of days the witness will be required. This is essential because the certificate serves to officially document the witness's commitment to testify and outlines the specific details relevant to the case. Including the case facts ensures that the information is directly linked to the legal proceedings, which helps establish the context and importance of the witness's testimony. Additionally, stating the number of days the witness will be required provides clarity on the witness’s availability and the expected duration of their involvement, which can be crucial for legal scheduling and planning.

While personal information and contact details of the witness, the location of the court and trial date, or the lawyer's name representing the witness may be relevant in other contexts, they do not specifically pertain to the essential elements needed in a certificate aimed at confirming the witness's role and responsibilities in relation to the case.
