Practice question
An agency imports court procedure to refuse both cross-examination of an adverse witness and rebuttal evidence in a contested case expressly governed by BookVII Section12. The witness’s disputed testimony is decisive. No lawful exception is present. Which is correct?
- Court procedure always defeats the governing Code
- The express statutory rights cannot be displaced by that importation
- Both rights disappear in every administrative case
- Decisive testimony never requires testing
- The agency’s preference alone repeals the statute
