For Masechet Bava Kamma 112b we study the Halachik the requirement that testimony be presented בפני בעל דין, in the presence of the defendant. Is this a DeOraisa requirement? Is this principle limited to capital cases or does the Torah establish this condition even with regard to monetary cases? What if Beis Din accepted the testimony in the absence of the defendant? Can we validate this testimony? We will address the q': does the defendant have the right to refuse to show up in Court, insisting that the case be taken to a higher court?
