Mich. Admin. Code R. 432.716a - Actions available to hearing officer
Rule 716a.
(1) A
hearing officer may recommend sanctions and penalties if the hearing officer
finds that a party has failed to appear for a scheduled hearing, acted in bad
faith for the purpose of delay or has otherwise abused the hearing
process.
(2) If a respondent fails
to testify on the respondent's own behalf with respect to any question
propounded to the respondent, the hearing officer may infer that the testimony
or answer would have been adverse to the case of the respondent.
(3) If the respondent or attorney of record
fails to answer a subpoena or refuses to testify fully at the request of the
board the failure may be considered independent grounds for a finding that the
respondent should be disciplined. The hearing officer may also infer that the
testimony would have been adverse to the respondent.
