Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 12, March 20, 2024
(a) General. In order to facilitate the hearing procedure, conferences may be held with the petitioners or between the parties with the approval or at the direction of the presiding member. The meetings are to be held before the presiding member as time and the nature of the proceeding permit. At any such conference, the following may be considered:
(b) Failure of a participant to attend such conference, after being served with due notice of the time and place thereof, shall constitute a waiver of all objections to the agreements reached, if any, and any order or ruling made at the pre-hearing conference.
(c) Authority of presiding member. The presiding member at any conference may dispose of by ruling, without the consent of the petitioners or parties, any procedural matters which the presiding member is authorized to rule on, and which it appears may appropriately and usefully be disposed of at that stage. The rulings of the presiding member made at the conference shall control the subsequent course of the hearing, unless modified by the hearing commissioners.
