If, because of accident, sickness, or other good cause, a person fails to receive a hearing or fails to appear for a hearing that he or she requested, the person may, within thirty (30) days from the date of the decision of the Board, apply to the Board to reopen the proceedings.
If the Board finds sufficient cause to reopen a hearing, it shall immediately fix a time and place for a hearing and serve upon the person, the Corporation Counsel, and the Director notice as required by this chapter.
The Board may reopen a proceeding if no appeal is pending before the D.C. Court of Appeals or the D.C. Court of Appeals has not decided the matter.
