Section 42.108 - Continued involvement by Commission staff(a) Whenever the complainant files a Certificate of Authority under § 42.106 (relating to attorney or designated agent of complainant; forms), which allows the Commission staff counsel to remain involved in the proceeding at public hearing, a staff counsel may be assigned to represent the Commonwealth's interest in assuring that the policies and provisions of the act are protected at the public hearing. This involvement will allow the Commission staff counsel to participate in the public hearing process, but will not allow the Commission staff counsel to control the manner in which the complainant's private attorney prepares for or conducts the public hearing on behalf of complainant, or to prevent a voluntary and knowing conciliation by the parties.(b) Whenever the complainant files a Certificate of Authority, which does not allow the Commission staff counsel to remain involved, the staff counsel may file a request to remain involved. For good cause shown, the Commission may grant the request, and if granted, the Commission staff counsel may remain involved, as provided in subsection (a).The provisions of this §42.108 adopted April 19, 1991, effective 4/20/1991, 21 Pa.B. 1909.
