Terms Used In Nevada Revised Statutes 445B.350
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- En banc: In the bench or "full bench." Refers to court sessions with the entire membership of a court participating rather than the usual quorum. U.S. courts of appeals usually sit in panels of three judges, but may expand to a larger number in certain cases. They are then said to be sitting en banc.
- Oath: A promise to tell the truth.
- Testimony: Evidence presented orally by witnesses during trials or before grand juries.
- Transcript: A written, word-for-word record of what was said, either in a proceeding such as a trial or during some other conversation, as in a transcript of a hearing or oral deposition.
2. Notice of the hearing shall be given to all affected parties no less than 5 days prior to the date set for the hearing.
3. The Commission may sit en banc or in panels of three or more to conduct hearings.
4. The attendance of witnesses and the production of documents may be subpoenaed by the Commission at the request of any party. Witnesses shall receive the fees and mileage allowed witnesses in civil cases. Costs of subpoenas shall be taxed against the requesting party.
5. All testimony shall be given under oath, and recorded verbatim by human or electronic means.
6. For the purpose of judicial review under NRS 445B.560, the parties may agree upon a statement of facts in lieu of a transcript of testimony.
