Terms Used In Missouri Laws 33.140
- Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
- Oath: A promise to tell the truth.
- Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.
Whenever the commissioner of administration may think it necessary to the proper settlement of any account, he may examine the parties, witnesses and others, on oath or affirmation, touching any matter material to be known in the settlement of such account, and for this purpose may issue subpoenas, and compel witnesses to attend before him and give evidence, in the same manner and by the same means allowed by law to courts of record.
