Practice question
A relevant question concerns a fact from which the fact in issue would be presumed and would harm reputation, but no criminal exposure or other privilege exists. Is reputation protection absolute here?
- The witness can always refuse all relevant testimony
- Yes; every reputational concern is absolute
- Only a direct ultimate fact can ever qualify
- No; Section3(5) expressly includes that issue-related exception
- A humiliating tone makes the underlying fact inadmissible in every case
