D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 31, r. 2117
Formal rules of evidence shall not apply to adjudications or hearings before OHE.
Hearsay may be considered during a hearing, provided however, that hearsay shall not serve as the sole evidentiary basis for a suspension or revocation of a license.
Irrelevant, immaterial, scandalous, cumulative, or unduly lengthy evidence may be excluded at the discretion of the hearing examiner.
Each party shall have the right to present witnesses, to conduct direct examination and cross examination, and to introduce documentary evidence.
Each party shall serve upon the opposing party and file with OHE, exhibit and witness lists, not later than five (5) business days prior to the hearing.
A hearing examiner may require the production of evidence by either party.
A hearing examiner may take judicial notice of generally accepted facts, but shall not take judicial notice of any facts in dispute.
