Section 182-526-0020. Good cause.  


Latest version.
  • (1) Good cause is a substantial reason or legal justification for failing to appear, act, or respond to an action. To show good cause, the administrative law judge must find that a party had a good reason for what they did or did not do, using the provisions of Superior Court Civil Rule 60 as a guideline.
    (2) Good cause may include, but is not limited to, the following examples:
    (a) The party who requested the hearing ignored a notice because he or she was in the hospital or was otherwise prevented from responding; or
    (b) The party who requested the hearing could not respond to the notice because it was written in a language that he or she did not understand.
