Legal analysis

China's civil procedure law stipulates the obligation of witnesses to testify truthfully, but it does not stipulate that witnesses must personally hand-write written witness testimony. Therefore, the written witness testimony can be written on behalf of others, and the electronic version can be printed, as long as the witness reads it and signs it to confirm that the witness testimony is correct.

China's civil procedure law stipulates that witnesses must testify truthfully. Therefore, if a witness testifies in written witness testimony, he should sign a letter of guarantee, and the letter of guarantee here should be signed by the witness himself. Witnesses should testify in court: the court should require witnesses to testify in court and accept inquiries from judges and parties. Permission of witnesses before hearing

In the preparatory stage or in the presence of both parties such as court investigation and inquiry, the testimony shall be regarded as court testimony. If the parties agree that the witness will testify in other ways, the witness may not testify in court with the permission of the court. If a witness fails to testify in court without justifiable reasons, his written testimony shall not be used as the basis for finalizing the case. This is the embodiment of the principle of good faith in civil litigation. Therefore, if a witness in a civil lawsuit can ensure that the written witness testimony is correct and conforms to the process of the case facts he knows and sees, he only needs to sign the written testimony for confirmation, and does not need to edit it himself.
