Meridian Infra Ltd applies, with its tribunal's approval, for Court assistance to take evidence from a site engineer. Which item must the application specify regarding the witness?
The application must give the name and address of the person to be heard as witness or expert witness, together with a statement of the subject-matter of the testimony required. Naming the witness alone is not enough.

- BThe name and address of the person to be heard and a statement of the subject-matter of the testimony requiredCorrect
- COnly the engineer's name, with the subject-matter left to the Court
- DThe tribunal's draft findings on the engineer's credibility
Explanation
Section 27(2)(c)(i) requires the name and address of any person to be heard as witness or expert witness and a statement of the subject-matter of the testimony required. Name alone is insufficient, so option C is wrong.
