UCCR 3.02
AVOIDING SUMMONING OF REDUNDANT WITNESSES
(A) The practice of summoning numerous witnesses to prove the same fact or set of facts
often serves merely to increase the costs and consume the time of the court.
(B) In such cases the chancellor may tax the per diem and mileage of all such unnecessary
witnesses against the party causing them to be summoned whether they be called to testify
or not.
(C) In all cases the mileage and per diem of all witnesses who are not called to testify shall
be taxed against the party causing them to be summoned, unless good cause to the contrary
be shown.
