The plaintiff is not required to provide witnesses to a case, per se; although they must prove their case (It is very hard to do without at least one witness, normally the plaintiff alone). In either case however the defense is not limited in its ability to call any witness to the case, as long as the plaintiff is notified of the witness who will appear and the witness will provide material testimony about the case.Additional: The defense cannot elicit brand-new testimony from the plaintiffs witness, however the witness is subject to cross-examination by the defense, who will try to either draw out testimony favorable to his client, or to impeach the testimony that the witness gave on direct examination.
