40 Opening address by defence
Where the accused person intends to call a witness (other than himself or herself) to give evidence as to the facts of the case, the person may, before he or she calls the first such witness, make an opening address to the court martial or Defence Force magistrate stating the nature and general effect of the evidence that the person proposes to adduce in the person’s defence.
