Haw. Code R. § 16-181-23 - Evidence
(a) The formal rules of evidence shall not
apply. The parties may introduce any relevant evidence which is commonly relied
upon by reasonably prudent people in the conduct of their affairs. The
arbitrator may exclude irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly repetitious
evidence.
(b) Before the hearing or
at the hearing, the arbitrator or either party may request that the arbitrator
inspect or ride the consumer's vehicle. If requested, both parties shall be
afforded the opportunity to be present and accompany the arbitrator on the
inspection or ride.
(c) The
arbitrator may receive and consider evidence of a witness not present at the
hearing by affidavit and shall give any affidavit such weight as may be deemed
appropriate, after consideration of any objections made to its
submission.
