Dear Learned Lawyers,
In a civil suit trial, during the cross-examination, can the defendant refuse to answer the question asked by the plaintiff’s lawyer which is irrelevant to the suit ?
Thanks & Regards

Dear Sir
The question is irrelevant. No doubt about it. The query is whether an irrelevant question can be refused. The only answer is: can be.

Defendent can refuse to answer the questions which are irrelevant. However it is the court which will decide which is relevant and irrelevant.
