D.C. Mun. Regs. r. 4-427
Current through Register Vol. 71, No. 24, June 14, 2024
The respondent may be held in default when, after being duly served notice of a status conference, the pre-hearing conference, or the hearing, it fails to appear in person or through its representative.
In the event of the respondent's default, the hearing process shall proceed with the evidence offered in support of the complaint. The Hearing Tribunal's Final Decision and Order shall find against the respondent if it finds that the evidence establishes a prima facie case of unlawful discriminatory act or practice.
A default may be set aside only for good cause shown, and upon equitable terms and conditions.
