1225.1 All proceedings, except for settlement conferences, shall be recorded. The recording is the official record of what occurred at the proceeding.

1225.2 Any party may obtain a copy of the recording of a hearing at the party's expense.

1225.3 Transcripts of the recording of the proceedings shall be prepared by a qualified reporter or transcriber who shall personally certify that he or she is not a party or counsel to a party or otherwise related to or employed by a party or counsel in the case; that he or she has no material interest in the outcome of the case; and that the transcript represents the testimony and proceedings of the case as recorded.

1225.4 In filings, a party may only rely upon a transcript prepared according to this section.

1225.5 Unless otherwise stipulated by the parties or ordered by Board, if a party cites to a portion of a transcript, the entire transcript of the case must be filed with the Board, and a copy must be served on the opposing party.

1225.6 In any case in which a party files a petition for review in the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, the Board will arrange for the preparation and filing of a transcript without charge only if the Court of Appeals has permitted the petitioner to proceed in forma pauperis. In all other cases, the Board will arrange for preparation and filing of a transcript only after the Board receives payment for the cost of preparing the transcript.
