Cross-examination of one's own witness may proceed with permission while reliance on favourable evidence remains available.

The Court may, in its discretion, allow a party calling a witness to ask questions that could be asked in cross-examination by the adverse party. Permission is not automatic and remains subject to discretionary control. A party so permitted does not lose the entitlement to rely on any part of that witness's evidence, including favourable or otherwise relevant portions.
