P.R. Laws tit. 20, § 3420
(a) The Board may initiate proceedings under the provisions of this chapter, motu proprio or through a complaint by an interested party.
(b) The person affected by a complaint shall be given written notice of the nature of the charge or charges filed against him, and the date and place of the hearing to be held before the Board. This notice shall be given no less than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the hearing is to be held, and may be served personally or by mailing a copy of the notice by certified mail with return receipt requested to his last known address.
(c) If the respondent does not appear at the hearing after being duly notified, the Board may proceed to evaluate the evidence presented against him and issue the order that such evidence justifies. If within thirty (30) days following the notice of the Board’s order the respondent demonstrates that his failure to appear was for a just and reasonable cause, the Board may reopen the case and allow him to present evidence in his favor.
(d) The Board’s decision denying, suspending or revoking a license may be reconsidered within thirty (30) days following notification of that decision.
(e) Any person adversely affected by a final decision of the Board may request a review thereof by filing a writ at the Court of First Instance of Puerto Rico within thirty (30) days following the notification of the final decision. The request for review must state the reasons for requesting such a review. A copy of the request must be immediately presented to the Board, after which it will file a certified copy of the record upon which its decision was based in court.
