Section 120.330  Postponement or Continuance of Hearing

A hearing may be postponed or continued for due cause by the Administrative Law Judge upon his or her own motion or upon the motion of a party to the hearing. A motion by a party shall set forth facts demonstrating that the request for continuance is not for the purposes of delay. Examples of due cause include the unavailability of the Administrative Law Judge, a witness or a party due to an accident, illness or other circumstances beyond the person's control. Notice of any postponement or continuance shall be given in writing to all parties to the hearing within a reasonable time in advance of the previously scheduled hearing date. All parties involved in a hearing shall attempt to avoid undue delay caused by repetitive postponements or continuances so that the subject matter of the hearing may be resolved expeditiously.
