Were my rights violated at trial?
I am the president of a company that sued an individual for for non-payment of our services in a small claim court. We do not have lawyer representation.Please help me to clarify what happen in the trial.
1-The defendant's lawyer moved the judge to consider myself as witness and not as plaintiff, because the plaintiff is the corporation (he argueed), then the lawyer other side did a cross examination to me.
2- The lawyer other side failed to exchange documents and send a list of witness, I filed a motion to exclude any documents and witness before the trial. The lawyer other side presented couple of documents, I objected without success.
3- The lawyer testified since the beginning, I objected, the judge denied and said the lawyer is doing a presentation. I objected several times without success.
4- The judge did a couple of questions to defendant and never ask him for oath to tell the true.
5- Before the cross examination the judge asked me for oath to tell the true.
6- The judge did not give me the opportunity for cross examination of the defendant.
7- The judge never read before the trial the exhibits I filed as evidence.
Questions:
Can I be plaintiff and witness at the same time? Were my rights violated in any way?
