A true and correct copy of the transcript shall be forwarded to the other party upon written request, along with an invoice for the reasonable cost of copying and mailing same.
2. Written interrogatories to be answered in writing, under oath, by any party, material witness or expert witness.
3. Order for production and copying of documents and things and for entry upon land for inspection and other relevant purposes, by any party against any party or person.
4. Before an action is commenced, the Board may direct that the Board's attorney, or the Board's attorney may on his own initiative, conduct such preliminary discovery regarding any matter under investigation that the Board or the Board's attorney deems necessary and proper in order to perpetuate testimony or to otherwise prevent a failure or delay of justice. Such pre-action discovery methods shall be in conformance with those set out hereinabove. The product of such discovery may be used in any action involving the same subject matter subsequently brought before the Board.
