§ 24-1-2-11 — Examination of witness or party; immunity from criminal prosecution

Any person or officer, agent, or employee of
a corporation may be examined as a witness or a party as in other cases,
in any civil action instituted under the provisions of this chapter and
required to disclose all the facts relevant to the case in the person's,
officer's, agent's, or employee's knowledge as provided in this chapter,
but the testimony of such witness or party or any answer to any
question propounded to the witness or party in such examination shall
not be used against such witness or party in any criminal prosecution
except in case of perjury committed by the witness or party during the
testimony or examination; and the witness or party shall not be liable
to trial by indictment or affidavit or to punishment for any offense
inquired about. However, that such exemption shall be personal to such
witness and shall not exempt or render immune the corporation of
which such witness shall be an officer, agent, or employee, and such
corporation shall be as liable for any violation of this chapter as if such
officer, agent, or employee had not so testified.
