§ 1346 Power of court - Attendance of witnesses.

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

This rule gives the judge the authority to make witnesses show up and testify in court. If a witness doesn't want to come or tries to avoid testifying, the judge can force them to attend.

The rule also gives the judge broad power to do whatever else is needed to reach a decision in the case. This means the judge isn't limited to just calling witnesses. They can take other actions too, as long as those actions help move the case toward a final ruling.

In simple terms, this rule makes sure the judge has the tools needed to get all the facts and information required to decide a case fairly. Nobody involved in the case, including witnesses, can simply refuse to cooperate if the judge orders them to participate.
