Practice question
An overseas witness will testify in a June 2026 civil hearing. Counsel files a written motion satisfying all Section 5 contents and timing but argues that no additional overseas-venue arrangements or foreign-jurisdiction consideration can ever be required. Which is best?
- Domestic and overseas participation have no additional procedural differences
- Section 5 remains applicable, but the additional overseas requirements must also be addressed
- An overseas location automatically removes the seven-day requirement
- Any private residence abroad automatically qualifies as an authorized overseas venue
- The foreign witness can be compelled to participate remotely solely under Section 38
