Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 11, § 4162 - Evidence Rules
(a) Oral
evidence shall be taken only on oath or affirmation.
(b) Each party shall have these rights: to call
and examine witnesses; to introduce exhibits; to cross-examine opposing witnesses on
any matter relevant to the issues even though that matter was not covered in the
direct examination; to impeach any witness regardless of which party first called
the witness to testify; and to rebut the evidence against the party. If respondent
does not testify in their own behalf they may be called and examined as if under
cross-examination.
(c) The hearing need
not be conducted according to technical rules relating to evidence and witnesses.
Any relevant evidence shall be admitted if it is the sort of evidence on which
responsible persons are accustomed to rely in the conduct of serious affairs,
regardless of the existence of any common law or statutory rule which might make
improper the admission of such evidence over objection in civil actions. Hearsay
evidence may be used for the purpose of supplementing or explaining other evidence
but shall not be sufficient in itself to support a finding unless it would be
admissible over objection in civil actions.
