(b) Necessity or desirability of amendments to documents for purposes of clarification or limitation;

(c) Stipulations, admissions of fact, and authenticity of documents;

(d) Limitation of the number of parties and of expert witnesses; and

(e) Such other matters as may tend to expedite the disposition of the proceeding, and to assure a just conclusion thereof.

(2) Records of Conference. The Commissioner shall issue an order which recites the action(s) taken at the conference, the amendments allowed to any documents which have been filed, the agreements made by the parties regarding the matters considered, and which limit the issues for the hearing and those disposed of by admissions or agreements. Such order when entered controls the subsequent course of the hearing, unless modified at the hearing, to prevent manifest injustice.
