§ 401.12 Supplemental applications and statements. If it shall appear to the Commission that either the application, the statement, or the reply statement is not sufficiently full, definite and complete to enable the Commission to proceed intelligently, the Commission may require a more full, definite and complete application or statement or reply statement, as the case may be, to be filed.

§ 401.13 Interested private parties.

§ 401.14 Preliminary hearing. If it appears to the Commission at any time before the hearing of the application that it would be advantageous to hold a preliminary meeting for the purpose of fixing or altering the plan of hearing, determining the mode of conducting the inquiry, the admitting of certain facts, or the proof of them by affidavit, or for any other purpose, the Commission may hold such meeting upon such notice to the parties as it deems sufficient, and may thereupon make such orders as it may deem expedient.

§ 401.15 Preliminary communication with parties. The Commission may, if it thinks fit, instead of holding the preliminary meeting provided in § 401.14, communicate with the parties direct, and may require answers to such inquiries as it may consider necessary.

Either party shall be entitled, at any time, before or at the hearing of the case, to give notice in writing to the party in whose application or statement or reply statement reference is made to any document, map, plan, or profile, to produce it for the inspection of the party giving such notice or his attorney or solicitor, and to permit him to take copies thereof; and any party not complying with such notice shall not afterwards be at liberty to put the same in evidence on his behalf in such proceedings, unless he satisfy the Commission that he had sufficient cause for not complying with such notice.

§ 401.19 Depositions. On application to the secretary of the section of the Commission in the country where depositions are proposed to be taken, any party may have a commission to take the depositions of witnesses, the commission to be signed by the secretary, to designate the name of the examiner before whom depositions will be taken, and the time and place of taking, but need not designate the names of witnesses to be examined, and the secretary shall specify in the commission the length of notice to be given, in all cases requiring what he may deem ample time to enable the parties to be present. The examiner, who shall in all cases be an official having power in his own country to administer oaths, may issue subpenas for witnesses to be examined before him. The testimony of all witnesses shall be taken under oath or affirmation and the parties shall be entitled to attend and examine and cross-examine. The testimony so taken shall be confined to the subject matter in question, and any objection to the admission of evidence shall be noted by the examiner and dealt with by the Commission at the hearing.

The Commission may require further evidence to be given, either viva voce or by deposition taken before an examiner.

The Commission may decide how many counsel are to be heard and what interests may be united for the purpose of the hearing.

The Commission may, in any case, require printed briefs or factums to be submitted by the parties.

§ 401.22 Majority may conduct hearings. A majority of the Commission may conduct hearings or other proceedings regularly before it and may take and receive testimony and hear arguments thereon, but less than the whole number of the Commission shall not proceed to finally consider and determine any matter, proceeding, or question which the Treaty creating the Commission, either in terms or by implication, requires or makes it the duty of the Commission to decide.

the Government transmitting the application a draft of the decision, and such Government may file with the Commission a brief or memorandum thereon which will receive due consideration by the Commission before its decision is made final.
