P.R. Laws tit. 20, § 471u
(a) The Board may initiate proceedings under the provisions of §§ 471—471v of this title, on its own initiative, through a complaint of an interested person, or by request of a person whose license has been denied, suspended or revoked.
(b) The person affected will be notified in writing of the nature of the charge or charges brought against him, or the reason for the denial, suspension or revocation of the license, and the place and date that the hearing before the Board will be held. Said notice will be served at least thirty (30) days prior to the date that the hearing will be held and may be served personally or by forwarding a copy of the notice to the person by certified mail with a receipt requested to his last known address.
(c) If after being duly notified, the respondent or person to whom a license has been denied, suspended or revoked fails to appear at the hearing, the Board may proceed to submit the evidence against him and issue the order that said evidence justifies. If within thirty (30) days following the notice of the Board’s order, the person concerned shows that his failure to appear was due to a fair and reasonable cause, the Board may reopen the case and allow him to furnish evidence in his favor.
(d) The decision of the Board denying, suspending or revoking a license may be reconsidered within twenty (20) days following the notice of said decision.
(e) Any person adversely affected by a final decision of the Board may request a revision thereof by filing a petition before the Court of First Instance of Puerto Rico within thirty (30) days after having been notified of said final decision. The petition for review shall state the grounds for requesting said review. A copy of said request must be delivered to any member of the Board immediately, after which the Board will file a certified copy of the record on which it based its decision in the court.
