§ 5706. Court procedure; evidence

(a) The court may permit to be amended any process or pleading for any omission or defect therein, or for any variance between the complaint and the evidence adduced at the trial. If the respondent is substantially prejudiced in the presentation of his case as a result of the amendment, the court shall adjourn the hearing to some future time, upon such terms as he shall think proper.

(b) Testimony of a witness as to the existence of navigation or snowmobile control signs, signals, or markings, shall be prima facie evidence that such control, sign, signal, or marking existed pursuant to a lawful statute, regulation or ordinance and that the defendant was lawfully required to obey a direction of such device.
