(a) Except as otherwise prescribed by these rules, the board of arbitrators shall conduct the hearing in conformity with Rule 1038(a). A voluntary nonsuit may be taken by a plaintiff as permitted by Rule 230. If the plaintiff fails to appear or if, at the conclusion of the plaintiff's case, the board deems the evidence insufficient to support an award in favor of the plaintiff, it shall enter an award in favor of the defendant. If the board does not do so, the defendant may proceed to offer evidence.

(b) The board shall have the power to administer oaths or affirmations to witnesses and to adjourn an uncompleted hearing from day to day.

(c) A stenographic record or a recording of the hearing shall not be made unless a party does so at his or her own expense. If a party has a stenographic record or a recording made, he or she shall upon request furnish a copy to any other party upon payment of a proportionate share of the total cost of making the record or recording.
