OAR 735-090-0066
Witness Information, Requests for Admissions, and Written Interrogatories


(1)

The Agency finds that use of the discovery methods listed in OAR 137-003-0566 (Discovery in Contested Case Hearing — Methods)(1)(a), (d) and (e) (names, telephone numbers, and addresses of witnesses expected to testify at the hearing, requests for admission, and written interrogatories respectively) would unduly complicate and interfere with the hearing processes in Implied Consent contested case hearings due to the statutorily mandated timeframe within which these cases must be decided, the volume of cases and need for speed and informality in these hearings. The current alternative procedures for sharing relevant information, including those established in Oregon Administrative Rule, chapter 735, division 90, are sufficient to ensure fundamental fairness in Implied Consent contested case hearings.

(2)

The witness information, requests for admission, and interrogatories described in OAR 137-003-0566 (Discovery in Contested Case Hearing — Methods)(1)(a), (d) and (e) do not apply to the Agency’s Implied Consent contested case hearings and may not be used in such hearings.
