(a) The proceedings shall be fair and impartial and shall be conducted in such manner as may be best suited to determine the parties' rights.

(b) The appellate body shall open the hearing by ascertaining and summarizing the issue or issues involved in the appeal. The parties, their attorneys or representatives may examine or cross-examine witnesses, inspect documents, and explain or rebut any evidence. An opportunity to present argument shall be afforded the parties, which argument shall be made part of the record. Where a party is not represented, the appellate body shall give every assistance that does not interfere with the impartial discharge of its official duties. The appellate body may examine each party or witness to such extent as it deems necessary. All oral testimony shall be under oath or affirmation and shall be recorded.

(c) The appellate body may take such additional evidence as it deems necessary; provided, that in case such further evidence is taken, the parties shall be given proper notice of the time and place of such further hearing.

(d) The appellate body, in its discretion, may refuse to allow to appear before it any person who engages in misconduct at a hearing or who intentionally or repeatedly fails to observe the provisions of the Unemployment Compensation Law of New Jersey or the rules and regulations of either the Division of Unemployment Insurance or the Division of Temporary Disability Insurance.
