R 205.1342 Conduct of hearing

Rule 342

(1) The tribunal may admit, and give probative value to, evidence of a type commonly relied upon by reasonably prudent persons in the conduct of their affairs. Irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly repetitious evidence may be excluded. Effect shall be given to the rules of privilege recognized by law.

(2) A copy of a valuation disclosure of other written evidence to be offered in support of a party's contentions as to the subject property's value shall be filed with the tribunal and served upon the opposing party not less than 14 days before the date of the scheduled hearing. Failure to comply with this subrule may result in the exclusion of the evidence at the time of the hearing because the opposing party may have been denied the opportunity to adequately consider and evaluate the evidence before the date of the scheduled hearing.

(3) A witness who testifies at a hearing shall swear or affirm to give full and truthful testimony.
