Section R305-7-109 - Default

(1) The provision controlling default under UAPA, Section 63G-4-209, governs default under special adjudicative proceedings as well as proceedings under UAPA ,including enforcement proceedings. However, a petitioner in a special adjudicative proceeding is not allowed to file a request for agency action. Instead, a petitioner in a special adjudicative proceeding must file a Petition for Review. Therefore, if a petitioner in a special adjudicative proceeding improperly files a request for agency action a respondent is not required to answer it. In addition, a respondent in a special adjudicative proceeding is not required to file a response to a Petition for Review under Section 63G-4-209(1)(c). However, a party in a special adjudicative proceeding who does not file a brief as required Section 19-1-301.5(8) may be held in default. See Section 19-1-301.5( 10)(c).

(2) A default order shall include a statement of the grounds for default and shall be filed with the Administrative Proceedings Records Officer and shall be served on all parties.

(3) A defaulted party may seek to have the default set aside according to procedures set forth in the Utah Rules of Civil Procedure. A motion to set aside a default and any subsequent order shall be made to the ALJ.
