§ 60-407 General abolition of disqualifications and privileges of witnesses, and of exclusionary rules.

This rule sets up a basic starting point for who can testify in court and what evidence can be used. It says that almost anyone can be a witness, and courts should not block people from testifying unless a specific law says otherwise. It also says people generally cannot refuse to testify or refuse to share information, objects, or documents just because they'd rather not.

In simple terms, this rule removes old-fashioned barriers that used to stop certain people from testifying or that let people hide evidence without a real legal reason. Unless another law specifically creates an exception, like attorney-client privilege or a similar protection, courts are supposed to let people testify and let relevant evidence come in.

The last part of the rule states the main goal clearly: if evidence is relevant, it should generally be allowed in court. This keeps trials focused on letting judges and juries see the facts, instead of blocking testimony or evidence based on outdated rules or unfair restrictions.
