Depositions permitted by arbitrators--Compelling testimony

On application of either party and for use as evidence, the arbitrator may permit a deposition to be taken, in the manner and upon the terms designated by the arbitrator, of a witness who cannot be subpoenaed or is unable to attend the hearing. Any provision of law compelling a person under subpoena to testify is applicable. Source: SL 2003, ch 83 , § 20; SDCL, §
