Section R6-5-7508 - Rescheduling the Hearing

A. An appellant may ask for postponement of a hearing by calling or writing the Office of Appeals and providing good cause as to why the hearing should be postponed. Good cause exists where circumstances beyond the appellant's reasonable control make it difficult or burdensome for the appellant to attend the hearing on the scheduled date.

B. Except in emergency circumstances, the appellant shall ensure that the Office of Appeals receives the request for postponement at least five work days before the scheduled hearing date. The Office of Appeals may deny an untimely request. Emergency circumstances mean circumstances

1. Beyond the reasonable control of the party;

2. Which did not arise until after the five-day period; and

3. Which could not reasonably have been anticipated.

C. When the Office of Appeals reschedules a hearing under this Section or R6-5-7514, the Office of Appeals shall notify all interested parties, in writing, prior to the hearing. The 20-day notice requirement in R6-5-7507(C) does not apply to rescheduled hearings.
