§ 9-7-9.Contents of report — Motions and rulings; transcript; documentary evidence

This section builds on the general reporting duty in 9-7-8 with specific requirements. Motion practice before the auditor has to be documented — every motion made and every ruling on it goes into an accurate report, not just the auditor’s bottom-line conclusions.

The proceedings also get captured verbatim: either the auditor or a party arranges for a court reporter to record the evidence and proceedings, so the record isn’t limited to the auditor’s own notes or memory.

Original documents introduced during the hearing get the same careful treatment. Each one must be properly identified and attached to the report, preserving the exhibit trail so that anyone reviewing the case later — the judge on exceptions of law, a jury on exceptions of fact — can see exactly what was put in evidence.
