In a civil litigation case, if it is inconvenient for the parties themselves to handle it, they may entrust an agent to participate in the litigation. Relatives, community workers and lawyers can all become civil litigation agents. The current law in our country does not clearly stipulate that an agent ad litem cannot serve as a witness at the same time. According to the provisions of Article 70 of the Civil Procedure Law, all units and individuals who know the case are obliged to testify in court. The person in charge of the relevant unit shall support the witness to testify.
