Right to Cross-Examine Witnesses in Quasi-Judicial Administrative Hearing

The Third Department held that a reversal of the NYS Office of Victim Services determination was required because the respondent Office heard the testimony of two witnesses in the absence of the petitioner, thereby depriving her of her right to cross-examine witnesses, a right which applies to a quasi-judicial administrative hearing.  Matter of Barber vs NYS Office of Victim Services, 513256 Third Dept. 2-14-13
