Failure to provide such information five days prior to the hearing may lead to exclusion of the evidence or the application of § 25-7-6.26.

The referee may charge a fee not to exceed twenty-five cents per page for reproducing any document requested. If the actual duplication cost exceeds twenty-five cents per page, the referee may request a court order approving a fee of more than twenty-five cents per page.
