To expedite the conducting of hearings and reduce litigation costs, the Tribunal requires the parties to agree (i.e., stipulate) to all facts, all exhibits, and all witnesses that are not or should not be in dispute and submit a stipulation of facts.
The Summary of Prehearing Conference and Scheduling Order establishes dates for the parties to exchange proposed stipulations of fact and file a final stipulation of facts. The parties are also required to include with the final stipulation of facts copies of the parties' proposed stipulations of facts and the parties' separate and specific written explanations as to why they did not agree to each fact or the admissibility of each exhibit or witness.
