PART 403_RULES OF PROCEDURE OF THE JOINT TOLLS REVIEW BOARD--Table of Contents
 
Sec.  403.10  Hearings; witnesses; affidavits. [Rule 10]

    (a) The witnesses at the hearings shall be examined viva voce, but 
the Board may, at any time, for sufficient reason, order that any 
particular facts may be proved by affidavit or that the affidavit of any 
witness may be read at the hearing, on such conditions as it may think 
reasonable, or that any witness whose attendance ought, for some 
sufficient reason to be dispensed with, be examined before a member of 
the Board. The evidence taken before a member of the Board shall be 
confined to the subject matter in question, and any objection to the 
admission of evidence shall be noted by the member and dealt with by the 
Board at the hearing. Such notice of the time and place of examination 
as is prescribed shall be given to the parties. All examinations shall 
be returned to the Board, and may without further proof be used in 
evidence, saving all just exceptions.
    (b) The Board may, whenever it deems it advisable to do so, require 
written briefs to be submitted by the parties.
    (c) The hearing, when once commenced, shall proceed, so far as in 
the opinion of the Board may be practicable, from day to day. [Rule 10]
