Section 1.14. Close of hearing.  


Latest version.
  • (1) Closing and briefs. A hearing in a contested case shall be closed upon completion of the submission of all evidence and expiration of the period fixed for filing of briefs. If the time for filing briefs has expired and the brief of one or more parties is not filed within such time, the administrative law judge may proceed to the determination of the case. The administrative law judge may grant an extension of time to file briefs upon a showing of good cause.
    (2) Additional evidence. If evidence is permitted to be submitted after the close of testimony, the record will be closed when the evidence is received by the division or when the specified time for furnishing it has elapsed without its being furnished. The administrative law judge may, upon the request of a party, extend the time originally prescribed for filing such additional evidence.
