94-649 C.M.R. ch. 201, § 7 - DEFAULT
1.
Failure to appear. If an
appellant fails to appear at a hearing, the appellant may be deemed by the
Presiding Officer to have abandoned the appeal. The Presiding Officer shall
immediately notify the appellant in writing of the finding of default. If
within 15 calendar days after the issuance of the notice of default the
appellant submits information that demonstrates, in the judgment of the
Presiding Officer, that the appellant had good cause for failing to appear, the
appeal will be reinstated. If the appellant does not submit such information to
the Presiding Officer within the timeframe herein, the decision of the
Executive Director will become final.
2.
Hearing in the absence of the
appellant. A hearing may be held in the absence of the appellant when
the Presiding Officer chooses to proceed with the hearing as an alternative to
a default.
