The court limitation to ask questions must be based
on whether the question is aimed at unveiling the credibility of the witness while
bearing in mind, bonis mores (good faith questions). My client was intimidated
after he was warned about the type of questions asked and therefore failed to
discredit witnesses by cross-examination.

It appears that your client felt intimidated or discouraged after being warned about the type of questions that could be asked during cross-examination. In order to challenge the credibility of the witnesses, it is important to consider questions that are relevant and in good faith, following the guidelines set by the court. However, if your client felt hindered in discrediting the witnesses due to the limitations imposed on questioning, it may be necessary to discuss this issue with your legal team to determine the best course of action moving forward.
