Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 21, November 4, 2024

Section 19:14-9.3 - Briefs

(a) By no later than five days before the return date of an order to show cause, unless otherwise ordered by the Commission Chair or the designee, the charging party or petitioner shall file an original and two copies of its brief together with proof of service of a copy on all other parties. The brief shall explain clearly the nature of the proceeding, the interim relief sought, and why such relief should be ordered under the applicable legal standards.

(b) By no later than two days before the return date, unless otherwise ordered by the Commission Chair or the designee, the respondent shall file an original and two copies of its answering brief and any opposing affidavits or verified pleadings, together with proof of service of a copy on all other parties. The answering brief shall set forth the grounds of opposition, together with copies of any papers relied on which are not in the charging party's or petitioner's submissions. If no answering brief is filed, the application may be considered to be unopposed, provided, however, that an unopposed application must still satisfy the standards for granting interim relief.

(c) No further briefs shall be filed without leave of the Commission Chair or the designee. A request for leave shall be in writing, accompanied by proof of service of a copy on all other parties.
