Board's participation with hearing officer violates practitioner's protections. Where the board participates jointly with the hearing officer in conducting the proceedings involving a practitioner, in using the hearing officer as its legal advisor during its deliberations, and in entering the initial fact-finding decision, the board violates the statutory provisions of this article, and the practitioner is not required to demonstrate any prejudice to him as a result of these statutory violations. In re Maul v. State Bd. of Dental Exam'rs, 668 P.2d 933 (Colo. 1983).
