"Compellable witness" In the law of evidence, a person is "compellable" if he or she can be required to give evidence in court proceedings, even if unwilling. The question of compellability does not arise if a person is willing to give evidence, but that person must still be a Competent Witness for the party who wishes to call him or her. 2, record 2, English, - compellable%20witness
