Section 91.05. Filing and service of papers.

 

(1)  With the exception of the initial complaint and the initial appeal which will be served by the commission pursuant to s. ERC 92.03 , and papers that are filed as part of an investigation, all papers filed by a party with the commission shall also be served by that party on all other parties to the case.

(2)  Papers may be served either personally or by mail. Service by mail is complete upon mailing. That is, for purposes of service, the effective date is the date of mailing, not receipt. Filing is complete on receipt.

(3)  The filing of any paper required to be served constitutes a certification that a copy of the paper has been timely served on all parties required to be served unless the person filing the paper states otherwise in writing. No affidavit, certificate, or admission of service need be filed with the commission.

(4)  When a party is represented by a representative, service shall be made upon that representative. For purposes of service, where more than one petitioner has filed the case, the first-named petitioner shall be considered the sole petitioner, unless another petitioner is specifically identified as the agent for service.
