(a) A brief of an amicus curiae which is confined to the issues raised by the parties may be filed if it is accompanied by written consent of all the parties.

(1) If consent is denied by any of the parties, the amicus curiae may file a motion, with certificate of service on all parties, which concisely discloses the nature and extent of the applicant's interest, states any facts or questions of law which may not be presented adequately by the litigants, and explains the relevancy of these facts or questions of law to its disposition of the case.

(2) If an objection to the motion is not filed within ten (10) days of its filing with the Board, consent to file the amicus brief shall be deemed to have been granted. If an objection is filed, the Board shall review the motion and the objections to determine whether to allow the filing of the amicus brief.

(b) The disposition of a case will not be delayed pending action on a motion for leave to file an amicus brief or to await the filing of an amicus brief. If the filing of an amicus brief is allowed either by the consent of the parties or by the Board, it must be filed within the briefing schedule set for the party supported.

(c) Leave may be sought by any party in the case to file a response to the amicus brief.
