D.C. Mun. Regs. r. 14-3828
When this chapter is silent on a procedural issue before the Commission, that issue may be decided by using as guidance, first, the Rules of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals or, second, the District of Columbia Superior Court Rules of Civil Procedure.
Where the Commission determines, after notice and reasonable opportunity to respond, that a party, or a party's attorney or other representative as authorized by § 3812, has violated an obligation under this chapter or an order of the Commission, the Commission may impose monetary sanctions, including a fine or an award of attorney's fees in an amount consistent with § 3825.12.
A determination that a person has committed a violation under § 3828.2 may be made by the Commission pursuant to a motion of any party or pursuant to an order of the Commission to show cause that sanctions should not be imposed.
The Commission, in its discretion, may continue a determination of the amount of attorney's fees to be imposed as a sanction pursuant to § 3828.2 until after the final disposition of the issues on appeal.
