General
Section 538.230 - Hearings: Failure of party to appear

1. If a party fails to appear at a scheduled hearing and no continuance has been granted, the Commission or presiding officer will hear the evidence of the witnesses who have appeared and will proceed to consider the matter and dispose of it on the basis of the evidence before it.

2. If, because of accident, sickness or other reasonable cause, a person fails to appear for a hearing and fails to request a continuance of the hearing, he may within a reasonable time, but not more than 15 days, apply to the Commission to reopen the proceedings.

3. Upon finding a cause sufficient and reasonable, the Commission or presiding officer will immediately fix a time and place for a hearing and give notice of the hearing to all parties. At the time and place fixed, a hearing will be held at which the person may testify in his own behalf and present such other evidence as may be beneficial to his cause.

4. Witnesses who have previously testified are not required to appear at the second hearing unless so directed by the Commission or presiding officer.
