§ 2506.03.
(A) The hearing of an appeal taken in relation to a final order, adjudication, or decision
covered by division (A) of section 2506.01 of the Revised Code shall proceed as in the trial of a civil action, but the court shall be confined
to the transcript filed under section 2506.02 of the Revised Code unless it appears, on the face of that transcript or by affidavit filed by the appellant,
that one of the following applies: (1) The transcript does not contain a report of all evidence admitted or proffered by
the appellant. (2) The appellant was not permitted to appear and be heard in person, or by the appellant's
attorney, in opposition to the final order, adjudication, or decision, and to do any
of the following: (a) Present the appellant's position, arguments, and contentions; (b) Offer and examine witnesses and present evidence in support; (c) Cross-examine witnesses purporting to refute the appellant's position, arguments,
and contentions; (d) Offer evidence to refute evidence and testimony offered in opposition to the appellant's
position, arguments, and contentions; (e) Proffer any such evidence into the record, if the admission of it is denied by the
officer or body appealed from. (3) The testimony adduced was not given under oath. (4) The appellant was unable to present evidence by reason of a lack of the power of
subpoena by the officer or body appealed from, or the refusal, after request, of that
officer or body to afford the appellant opportunity to use the power of subpoena when
possessed by the officer or body. (5) The officer or body failed to file with the transcript conclusions of fact supporting
the final order, adjudication, or decision. (B) If any circumstance described in divisions (A)(1) to (5) of this section applies,
the court shall hear the appeal upon the transcript and additional evidence as may
be introduced by any party. At the hearing, any party may call, as if on cross-examination, any witness who
previously gave testimony in opposition to that party.
