Current through August, 2024
(a) Upon a hearing examiner's own motion or the motion of a party, the examiner may direct the parties or their counsel to meet with the examiner for a prehearing conference to consider:
(1) Simplification of the
issues;
(2) Necessity or
desirability of amendments to documents for purposes of clarification,
simplification, or limitation;
(3)
Stipulation, admissions of fact, and contents and authenticity of
documents;
(4) Limitations of the
number of parties and of expert witnesses; and
(5) Other matters to expedite the disposition
of the proceeding and to assure a just conclusion.
(b) The hearing examiner shall make an order which recites the action taken at the conference, the amendments allowed to any documents which have been filed, and the agreements made between the parties as to any of the matters considered, and which limits the issues for hearing to those not disposed of by admissions or agreements. The order when entered controls the subsequent course of the hearing unless modified at the hearing to prevent injustice.
