§ 6808. Hearing before panel; procedure.

Any party or the panel itself, sua sponte, after submission of all evidence and upon 10 days' notice to all parties, shall have the right to a hearing before the panel at a time and place agreeable to the members of the panel. At such hearing, any party may adduce evidence by the testimony of witnesses and otherwise and may address the panel concerning any matters relevant to issues to be decided by the panel before the issuance of their report. The panel shall have the authority to subpoena witnesses, administer oaths and compel the production of documents, and all witnesses appearing before it at a hearing shall be sworn and a stenographic record of the proceedings shall be made. The rules of evidence applicable to the Superior Court shall be followed insofar as practicable; provided, however, that evidence will be considered by the panel which, in its opinion, possesses probative value commonly accepted by reasonable, prudent persons in the conduct of their affairs.
