Provided that the court has not issued it final judgment, the procedure for presenting testimony is generally:
The Plaintiff presents evidence.
The Defendant presents evidence.
After the Defendant presents evidence, the Plaintiff will generally be allowed to present what is called rebuttal evidence. That is new evidence dealing with issues that Plaintiff did not cover in Plaintiff's initial presentation. It is called "rebuttal evidence." It is the Plaintiff's opportunity to rebut evidence presented by the Defendant.
If the Plaintiff presents rebuttal evidence, the Defendant will then be allowed to present what is called sur-rebuttal evidence to answer the new evidence presented in the Plaintiff's rebuttal.
