Section 250-2-20 - Reopening of hearings
Current through 2024-38, September 18, 2024
Either at the request of a party or sua sponte, the Hearing Examiner may upon notice to all parties reopen the record of any hearing under the following circumstances:
1. a party to the original hearing has discovered new evidence which could reasonably have affected the outcome of the proceeding but could not have been discovered by due diligence in time to present during the original proceeding, or;
2. there was fraud or misrepresentation regarding an issue of fact material to the original proceeding, which could reasonably be determined to have affected the outcome of the proceeding, if known at the time or;
3. all parties agree to reopen.
A motion to request to amend or reconsider a decision or to reopen the hearing does not extend the statutory appeal period (which is jurisdictional).
