HB 222 Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Act; right to confront and cross-examine witnesses.
Introduced by: Terry G. Kilgore | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
Virginia Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Act; evidence. Allows all parties to a claim under the Virginia Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Act to confront and cross-examine witnesses, and provides that a party shall not be precluded from conducting depositions of any witness from whom evidence is elicited. The measure also creates a mechanism for voiding an adverse determination in a claim made pursuant to Chapter 919 of the 2006 Acts of Assembly where a party was denied the opportunity to confront and cross-examine witnesses against him. In order to have the adverse determination voided, the party is required to file a petition on or before July 1, 2009. Any new review would be de novo. SB 212 is identical.
