Abstract

The Civil Procedure Code has not a clear explanation about the role of request of civil action parties in hearing of witness and performance of local investigation and regarding this matter if the court has directly authority in this field, and can, without asking the parties to the dispute, hear the witness and perform the local investigation, but it contains vague and inconsistent expressions. The same thing has led to different opinions and views. But in jurisprudence, the situation is clear, and the prevailing opinion of the jurists is on the need to apply for the witness and not directly authority of the court to hearing the witness. The investigation of the subject leads us to the conclusion thatwe should accept the directly authority of the court in hearing the witness or conducting the local investigation.
