Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 44, November 2, 2024
Section 93.17 - Continuances(a) Motions for a continuance, made prior to hearing, shall be in writing, shall be filed with the Board at Harrisburg, and shall set forth the reasons for granting the continuance. No motion will be acted upon by the Board unless it is filed at least 72 hours prior to the hearing, and the ruling of the Board thereon will be final. Upon good cause shown, the 72-hour provision or the necessity of a written motion may be waived at the discretion of the Board.(b) Conflicting engagements of counsel, whether before a court of record or an administrative tribunal, may not constitute sufficient grounds for a continuance of a proceeding before the Board, unless the date for the appearance of counsel in the conflicting engagement was fixed before receipt of notice of the proceeding before the Board.(c) Agreement of counsel is not of itself sufficient cause for the granting of a continuance.(d) At a hearing, the trial examiner shall have the right, subject to the approval of the Board, to continue the hearing from day to day, or to adjourn it to a later date, or to a different place, by announcement thereof at the hearing or by other appropriate notice.
