§ 1352-8. Formal or informal hearing.

Latest version.

If the petitioner elects to proceed to a hearing with representation, the hearing shall be formal. If the petitioner elects to proceed to a hearing without representation, he may request either a formal or informal hearing. A formal hearing shall include opening statements by the parties, the presentation of evidence on a question and answer basis, final arguments and other formalities and procedures typical of a civil trial. An informal hearing contemplates narrative presentations by the parties and their witnesses in a conference as opposed to a courtroom setting.
