Well, that sounds like a very broken legal system to me.
The right to free speech should have higher priority than procedural concerns.

Such a rule would make courts places where everybody shouted at everybody else and nothing got done. One of the first things people discovered about courts is that the procedure is required in order for the whole process to proceed in a way that gives everybody a chance to speak and be heard. Courts heavily regulate speech to make everything work.
