    SECTION 4501

    Self-incrimination

    Civil Practice Law & Rules (CVP) CHAPTER 8, ARTICLE 45

    § 4501. Self-incrimination. A competent witness shall not be excused
    from answering a relevant question, on the ground only that the answer
    may tend to establish that he owes a debt or is otherwise subject to a
    civil suit. This section does not require a witness to give an answer
    which will tend to accuse himself of a crime or to expose him to a
    penalty or forfeiture, nor does it vary any other rule respecting the
    examination of a witness.
