OAR 438-007-0016
Disclosure of Expert Witness Required

Within the times provided for the initial exchanges of exhibits and indexes under OAR 438-007-0018 (Exchange and Admission of Exhibits at Hearing) each party shall disclose to all other parties the identity of each expert witness the party will call to testify at the hearing. A statement by a party that the party “reserves the right,” or similar language, to call as a witness any expert whose opinion has been included in the documents filed in the case is not compliance with this rule. At the hearing the Administrative Law Judge may, in his or her discretion, allow the testimony of expert witnesses not disclosed as required by this rule. In the exercise of this discretion, the Administrative Law Judge shall determine whether material prejudice has resulted from the timing of the disclosure and, if so, whether there is good cause for the failure to timely disclose that outweighs the prejudice to the other party or parties.
