Can a witness be sworn in at an administrative hearing?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Marlow v. Orange County Human Services Agency, 110 Cal.App.3d 290, 167 Cal.Rptr. 776 (Cal. App. 1980):
Then, in Todd v. City of Visalia, 254 Cal.App.2d 679, 62 Cal.Rptr. 485, unsworn testimony came in without objection at an administrative hearing. The court held that ordinarily it is required that testimony be given under oath, but that the parties could and did waive the requirement. (Id. at p. 690, 62 Cal.Rptr. 485.) No such waiver occurred in the case before us.
