Section 92-2-17 - Severability
17.1. These rules are considered to be severable. In the event these rules are inconsistent with or contrary to any statute, the provisions of the statute shall be applied.
17.1.a. No error in either the admission or the exclusion of evidence and no error or defect in any ruling or order or in anything done or omitted by the Panel or by any of the parties shall be grounds for granting a new hearing or for vacating, modifying or otherwise disturbing a decision or order, unless refusal to take such action is inconsistent with substantial justice. Any error, defect or irregularity, or variance, which does not affect substantial rights, may be disregarded.
17.1.b. These rules, including any time frames herein, are intended to serve only as guidelines for procedural functions of the Board and its Panels. Nothing herein is intended to vest any person with any right, substantive or otherwise which is greater than otherwise exists in law.
