If the Appellant or their representative fails to appear at the hearing the Hearing Officer may proceed and reach a recommended decision based on the evidence presented at the hearing by the witnesses who appear.
The failure of the officer(s) to appear or be otherwise available for cross examination shall be cause for dismissal of the administrative license revocation by the Department except when the motorist does not appear or make any showing.
If all parties and witnesses fail to appear, the Hearing Officer shall enter the exhibits into the record. The sworn report shall be prima facie evidence of the refusal or failure of the test. The Hearing Officer shall recommend a decision to the Director based solely on the exhibits.
