§ 703.113 - Settling the record.

(a) The record upon which the Board's decision will be rendered consists of the pleadings, prehearing conference memoranda or orders, prehearing briefs, depositions or interrogatories received in evidence, admissions, stipulations, oral and written testimony, transcripts of conferences and hearings, hearing exhibits, post- hearing briefs, and documents which the Board has specifically designated be made a part of the record. The record will at all reasonable times be available for inspection by the parties at the office of the Board, or such other place as the Board may designate.

(b) Except as the Board may otherwise order in its discretion, no proof shall be received in evidence after completion of an oral hearing or, in cases submitted on the record, after notification by the Board that the case is ready for decision.

(c) The weight to be attached to any evidence of record will rest within the sound discretion of the Board. The Board may in any case require any party, with appropriate notice to the other party, to submit additional evidence on any matter relevant to the appeal.
