Yukon, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Roberts, 2015 YKTC 44 (CanLII):
The case of Browne v. Dunn indicates that you have to put to a witness your version of the events so that that witness has an opportunity to agree, disagree, or clarify the situation, but you are not to raise that version for the first time in your defence, without giving a witness that opportunity.
