Question 4 • Business Law

In an agency hearing, the burden of proof is on the ______.

Answer
A
prosecution
B
proponent of the ruling
C
defendant
D
plaintiff

Explanation

In an agency hearing, the party seeking the agency’s decision or order generally has the burden of proof. That party is called the proponent of the ruling, so choice B is correct. The terms “prosecution,” “defendant,” and “plaintiff” are not the general rule for assigning the burden in an agency hearing.
