provides that, after obtaining leave to cross-examine a witness, an accused is not limited to cross-examining the witness on the issue with respect to which leave was obtained. The clause provides a discretion to the court to disallow questions to a witness during cross-examination in a committal hearing if it appears that the accused has failed to identify an issue to which the question relates and has not provided a reason why the evidence of the witness is relevant to that issue or that the question is not justified. This discretion does not limit any other power of the court to disallow questions. The clause provides that the court must have regard to matters referred to in clause 124(4) and (5) when determining whether a question is justified.
