Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Ordinance, formal rules of evidence or procedure which must be followed in a court of record in this state shall not apply. No action, inaction or recommendation made by any City official, employee, commission, board or other entity under this Ordinance shall be void or invalid or be set aside by any court on the ground of the improper admission or rejection of evidence or by reason of any error, irregularity, informality, neglect or omission (hereinafter called error) as to any matter pertaining to petitions, applications, notices, findings, records, hearings, reports, recommendations, appeals or any matters of procedure whatever, unless after an examination of the entire case, including the evidence, the court is of the opinion that the error complained of was prejudicial, and that by reason of such error the party complaining or appealing sustained and suffered substantial injury, and that a different result would have been probable if such error had not occurred or existed. There shall be no presumption that error is prejudicial or that injury was done if error is shown. (Ord. 7787-NS § 2 (Exh. A), 2021)
