Upon notice, the administrative law judge may, in appropriate cases, require the parties to exchange prior to the hearing:
Any witness list or exhibit not exchanged prior to the hearing may be excluded from admission into evidence. Multiple documents submitted as one exhibit must be consecutively numbered. The pre-hearing exchange may be amended upon motion and for good cause shown, unless the amendment would substantially prejudice any other party in the presentation of its case.
S.C. R. P. Admin. Law. Ct. 27
2009 Revised Notes
This rule provides the administrative law judge another technique for limited pre-hearing exchange of information. It might be appropriate with other pre-hearing procedures in complex cases, or be the only disclosure in simple hearings. A procedure is provided for the amendment of the pre-hearing exchange. Multiple documents submitted as one exhibit, such as an agency file, must be consecutively numbered in order to facilitate reference to the individual documents during a hearing.
