Q1. Under the BSA, 2023, oral evidence must be:

1. Direct and related to what the witness saw or heard
2. Based on assumptions
3. Only admissible if in English
4. Hearsay only

Answer: Direct and related to what the witness saw or heard

Under the BSA, 2023, oral evidence must be direct, meaning it should relate to what the witness personally saw, heard, or perceived. Hearsay and assumptions are not the standard form of oral evidence. Therefore, the direct firsthand option is correct.
