DIRECT SPEECH:
Direct Speech
Conversations which are significant should be related by the witness in direct speech. That is, the conversation should be recited as it occurred and not summarised by the witness.
The witnesses statements should still comply with the form in which the statements are made.
For example, "Brian said me, "Could you please drive? I think I have had too much to drink" is the proper way to give evidence, not "Brian asked me to drive because he had had too much to drink."
