What kind of witnesses may be called in a securities arbitration hearing?

In a securities arbitration hearing in Texas, witnesses may be called to testify or provide evidence. Witnesses may include plaintiffs, defendants, employees of the company, customers, and experts in the subject matter of the case. Testifying witnesses must be identified to the other side prior to the hearing so that all parties have an opportunity to prepare for their testimony. Witnesses could also include people with knowledge of the events leading up to and/or resulting from the dispute. These may include accountants, attorneys, financial advisors, brokers, dealers, and other business professionals. If an expert witness is being called, they should have specialized knowledge in the subject of the arbitration. Expert witnesses are typically allowed to provide opinions concerning the facts of the case. However, the arbitrator may require that the expert provide evidence to support their opinion. Witnesses may be required to provide written testimony, such as contracts or other documents, which may be submitted to the arbitrator to consider. Witnesses may also be asked to bring in physical evidence, such as recordings, photos, or other objects, that may be relevant to the case. Ultimately, the arbitrator has the authority to decide which witnesses may be called and what evidence they must provide. Therefore, the parties involved in the securities arbitration case should ensure that all available witnesses and evidence are made available and properly identified so that the arbitrator can make an informed decision.
