A disinterested witness is not necessarily entitled to more credibility than an interested witness. To the extent that the underlying principles of evidence herein discussed are useful in achieving this goal, these underlying principles should be observed in Appeal Tribunal hearings. This means "the thing adjudicated." The steps to be followed in this manner each time, are as follows: When documentary evidence is sought to be introduced and made a part of the record, the Hearing Officer should identify the document in some convenient location such as the upper right corner, as Exhibit #1, etc. True, authentic, or adequate at first sight; ostensible: Prima facie - definition of prima Presumption of Law: There is a rule of law and part of the law itself. Hearsay or Secondhand evidence is a statement of a witness regarding matters the witness does not personally know but has only heard from someone else. The statements must be in writing and to be admissible under this exception must be authenticated by the signature of the official charged with the duty of authenticating the record or recording the facts contained in the written statement.

Such a document can, if furnished in response to a notice to appear for hearing, be used as an appearance by the party furnishing it but it should be given no more weight than the usual written but unattested document. If there are reopenings, the Hearing Officer continues with the numerical sequence.. In some ORS sections, the legislature has left some outline levels empty. The general rule is that a witness must speak of facts alone. Any file documents referred to in the hearing must be either entered as exhibits or a ruling made on the record as to why they are being denied. Relevant evidence is not necessarily competent, i.e., "hearsay". The appearance should be shown as "(claimant) (employer) by unsworn statement.". The proof must comply with the above requirements and in addition thereto that they were relied on in the conduct of the business.
Prima Facie It is important that the Hearing Officer bear in mind that in the following sections in this handbook relative to evidence, the use of the word "inadmissible" actually means that the particular evidence which is inadmissible cannot alone and without other admissible evidence be used to support a decision. Exceptions are where such proof is intended to show a regular or continuous course of conduct. If a party in a telephone hearing refers to a previously undisclosed document, the Hearing Officer first shall determine relevance and then attempt to have the document faxed to the other party, ask for a waiver, or postpone the hearing. The evidentiary facts are such as the right to control, the right to stop work, what was the ultimate object of the performance of service, etc. A. Prima Facie Review. Seldom is there any attempt to question why it's an undeniable, prima facie benefit and it's always presented as the only choice. The courts will not take action unless the party seeking judgment can make out an affirmative case in its behalf. It was then obvious that the witnesses had been testifying as to their opinions or conclusions as to what the contract meant and had given the Hearing Officer the impression that they had been testifying to ultimate facts. Presumptions arise only as the result of the existence of facts and must be based only on facts. Where any form of a written agreement is in the case, or, where a series of written communications represent the agreement, the Hearing Officer should be extremely careful to make every effort to obtain either the original or an authenticated copy and introduce it in evidence after authentication and to adhere to the procedure with respect to written evidence provided for above. To verify that the parties have received the Information Packet and the Notice of Telephone Hearing, the Hearing Officer shall take "administrative notice" that relevant agency documents and notice were sent to both parties. to an offense committed on or after the effective date of this Act. However, a copy of the written agreement was obtained by the Hearing Officer and the agreement was found to be lacking in the particular provision that all witnesses testified was in the written agreement. Keep in mind that this country is not really based on a welfare system and that for you to get public The Texas Supreme Court has observed that prima facie evidence is merely that which suffices for the proof of a particular fact until contradicted and overcome by other evidence. Dodson v. Watson, 220 S.W. Positive evidence - Proof that a certain fact does exist or did exist is positive evidence. The documents must be books or records of original entry, such as payroll records, day books, cash books, journals, ledgers, slips and other like memoranda. Administrative notice covers undisputed matters of which a trier of the case will take notice, as within general knowledge, although no evidence thereof is introduced. These types of statements must not be confused with admissions which are dealt with hereinafter. Books, documents, and records of a public nature which are required by law to be kept, are "prima facie" evidence because they are made by disinterested persons in the discharge of a public duty with no reason to falsify such entries.
