Racing Act 1958

The Victorian Racing Tribunal must allow a party a reasonable opportunity—

to call or give evidence; and

to examine, cross-examine or re‑examine witnesses; and

to make submissions to the Victorian Racing Tribunal.

Despite subsection (1), the Victorian Racing Tribunal may refuse to allow a party to call evidence on a matter if the Victorian Racing Tribunal considers that there is already sufficient evidence in relation to the matter before the Victorian Racing Tribunal.

Evidence in a proceeding before the Victorian Racing Tribunal may be given—

orally or in writing; or

by telephone, closed circuit television or video link; or

by a steward or an investigator from the notes of evidence made by the steward or the investigator.

The Victorian Racing Tribunal may require a person, whether in accordance with a notice under section 50S or otherwise, to give evidence or answer questions on oath or affirmation.

The Victorian Racing Tribunal, a member of the Victorian Racing Tribunal or the Victorian Racing Tribunal Registrar may administer an oath or affirmation to a person for the purposes of subsection (4).
