Section 5-273-64 - Variance between pleading and proof(a) A variance between an allegation in a petition for an election or a pleading in a prohibited practice proceeding and the proof shall be considered immaterial unless it prejudicially misleads any party or the Board. Where a variance is not material, the Board may admit such proof and the facts may be found accordingly. Where a variance is material, the Board may permit an amendment at any time before the final order of the Board, upon such terms as it deems just. Any party or the Board may move to conform the pleadings to the proof.(b) The Board shall disregard all defects in pleading and procedure wherever this may be done without impairing the substantial rights of any party, if justice so requires.Conn.
