Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 50, December 13, 2024
Section 49-1-10 - Rules of Evidence and Procedure10.1. Rules of Evidence. The rules of evidence as applied in civil cases in the circuit courts of West Virginia will govern evidentiary hearings before the board in accordance with W. Va. Code § 29A-5-2.10.2. Rules of Procedure. While the differences in the functions of the courts and administrative boards preclude the "wholesale transportation" of the Rules of Civil Procedure into the hearings before the board, some rules must be utilized to manage board hearings. Thus, as a matter of policy and to assure fairness, the appropriate Rules of Civil Procedure will guide the appeals process before the board.
