Section 4-157-17 - Evidence in contested claims

In contested claims

(a) any oral or documentary evidence may be received, but the commissioner shall, as a matter of policy, exclude irrelevant, immaterial or unduly repetitious evidence. The commissioner shall give effect to the rules of privilege recognized by the law. Subject to these requirements, when a hearing will be expedited and the interests of the parties will not be prejudiced substantially, any part of the evidence may be received in written form;

(b) documentary evidence may be received in the form of copies or excerpts, if the original is not readily available. Upon requests, parties shall be given an opportunity to compare the copy with the original;

(c) a party may conduct cross-examinations required for a full and true disclosure of the facts;

(d) notice may be taken of judicially cognizable facts.
