Section 607.410 - Rules of evidence; effect of informality

1. In conducting an investigation, inquiry or hearing, the Commissioner is not bound by the technical rules of evidence and no informality in any proceeding or in the manner or order of taking of testimony invalidates any order, decision or regulation adopted, approved or confirmed by the Commissioner.

2. Rules of evidence used in the courts of this State will be generally followed, but may be relaxed in the discretion of the Commissioner if deviation from the technical rules of evidence will aid in ascertaining the facts.

3. Evidence admitted at a hearing must be material and relevant to the issues.

4. If an objection is made to the admissibility of evidence, the evidence may be received but it is subject to any subsequent ruling of the Commissioner.

5. The Commissioner may, with or without objection, exclude inadmissible, incompetent, cumulative or irrelevant evidence.

6. A party objecting to the introduction of evidence shall briefly state the grounds of objection at the time the evidence is offered.
