A hostile witness, also known as an adverse witness, is a witness whose relationship to the opposing party is such that his or her testimony might be prejudiced against the party who called the witness to testify. This term specifically refers to a witness who displays antagonism or hostility during testimony, leading to the possibility of being declared hostile by the judge, which then allows the calling party to cross-examine their own witness.
