Section 69-02-04-08 - Appeal to commission from ruling of hearing officer
An appeal may be taken to the full commission from a ruling of a hearing officer during the course of a hearing only where extraordinary circumstances necessitate a prompt decision by the commission to prevent detriment to the public interest. Any offer of proof made in connection with an objection taken to any ruling of the hearing officer rejecting or excluding proffered oral testimony must consist of a statement of the substance of the evidence which the offering party contends would be adduced by such testimony; and, if the excluded evidence refers to or consists of documentary evidence, a copy of it must be marked for identification and constitutes part of the offer of proof.
