Section R. 792.10427 - Evidence generallyRule 427.
(1) The rules of evidence as applied in nonjury civil cases in circuit court shall be followed as far as practicable, but the commission may admit and give probative effect to evidence of a type commonly relied upon by reasonably prudent persons in the conduct of their affairs. Objections to offers of evidence may be made and shall be noted in the record.(2) Evidence, including records and documents in the possession of the commission, that a party desires or intends to rely on shall be offered and made a part of the record in the proceeding and other factual information or evidence shall not be considered in the determination of the case, except as otherwise permitted by law. Documentary evidence may be received in the form of copies or excerpts. Upon timely request, a party shall be given an opportunity to compare the copy with the original. If the original is so voluminous as to make its entry in evidence impracticable, the evidence may be incorporated by reference if the materials to be incorporated are made available for examination by the parties at a time and place designated by stipulation of the parties or as directed by the presiding officer. The evidence shall not be admitted where a party has failed, upon timely request, to provide other parties with reasonable access to the original document referred to or excerpted.(3) A party shall have the right of cross-examination and shall have the right to submit rebuttal evidence. Some surrebuttal evidence may be permitted at the discretion of the presiding officer or the commission.Mich. Admin. Code R. 792.10427
