Course of the oral hearing

(1) The oral hearing is not public. Representatives of the supervisory authorities and persons employed at the authority for training purposes may take part in it. The person conducting the hearing may permit other persons to be present, where no party objects.
(2) The person conducting the hearing must discuss the matter with the parties. He or she must work towards ensuring that unclear applications are explained, material applications are made, insufficient particulars are supplemented, and all declarations material to ascertaining the facts are made.
(3) The person conducting the hearing is responsible for order. He or she may have persons who do not comply with his or her directions removed. The hearing may be continued without those persons.
(4) A record must be made of the oral hearing. The record must contain particulars of 1. the place and day of the hearing; 2. the names of the person conducting the hearing and of the parties, witnesses and experts who appeared; 3. the procedural subject matter dealt with and the applications made; 4. the material content of the statements of the witnesses and experts; 5. the result of a view taken of the object. The record must be signed by the person conducting the hearing and, insofar as a recording clerk has been engaged, also by that clerk. Inclusion in a document appended to the hearing record as an annex, and designated as such, is treated the same as inclusion in the hearing record; the hearing record must refer to the annex.
