Section 1.234  Hostile Witness

If the Administrative Law Judge determines that a witness is hostile or unwilling, examination of the witness by the calling party may be conducted as if under cross-examination.  The party calling an occurrence witness may, upon showing the witness was called in good faith but the calling party is surprised by the testimony, impeach the witness by proof of prior inconsistent statements.
