Wash. Admin. Code § 230-17-135 - Continuances
(1) "Continuance"
means a postponement or an extension of time after a notice of hearing or
commission review has been issued.
(2) Parties may agree to a
continuance.
(3) If the parties do
not agree to a continuance, the person requesting the continuance must:
(a) Notify the presiding officer and the
other party why a continuance is needed; and
(b) Present this request as soon as the
person:
(i) Receives the notice of the
hearing or commission review; or
(ii) Knows the reasons requiring the
continuance.
(4) The presiding officer will consider
whether the request was made promptly and may grant a continuance for good
cause shown, or on his or her own motion.
(5) During a hearing, if it appears
consistent with the public interest or in the interests of justice that further
testimony or argument should be considered, the presiding officer may continue
the hearing and set the date to introduce additional argument or evidence. This
oral ruling is final notice of a continued hearing.
