Mich. Admin. Code R. 792.10410 - Petitions

Rule 410.

(1) A person who is not a complainant, respondent, applicant, or staff, and who claims an interest in a proceeding may petition for leave to intervene. Unless otherwise provided in the notice of hearing, a petition for leave to intervene must be filed with the commission not less than 7 days before the date set for the initial hearing or prehearing conference and the petition must be served on all parties to the proceeding. All parties must have an adequate opportunity to file objections to, and to be heard with respect to, the petition for leave to intervene. A petition for leave to intervene that is not filed in a timely manner may be granted upon a showing of good cause and a showing that a grant of the petition will not delay the proceeding or unduly prejudice any party to the proceeding. Except for good cause, an intervenor whose petition is not filed in a timely manner, but who is nevertheless granted leave to intervene, is bound by the record and procedural schedules developed before the granting of leave to intervene.

(2) A petition for leave to intervene must set out clearly and concisely the facts supporting the petitioner's alleged right or interest, the grounds of the proposed intervention, and the position of the petitioner in the proceeding to fully and completely advise the parties and the commission of the specific issues of fact or law to be raised or controverted. If affirmative relief is sought, the petition for leave to intervene must specify that relief. Requests for relief may be stated in the alternative.
