18 AAC 15.230 - Consolidation and severance

(a) The commissioner may consolidate, in whole or in part, two or more proceedings to be held under this chapter, if the commissioner determines that a joint hearing on any or all of the matters at issue would expedite or simplify consideration of the issues and that consolidation would not prejudice a party. Consolidation does not affect the right of a party to raise issues that might have been raised had consolidation not occurred.

(b) If the commissioner determines that consolidation is not conducive to an expeditious, full, and fair hearing, a party or issue may be severed and heard in a separate proceeding.

(c) After referral to the office of administrative hearings as required or permitted under AS 44.64.030, consolidation or severance is governed by 2 AAC 64.190.
