Failure to Appear

  1. If the complainant or the PHA fails to appear at a scheduled hearing, the hearing officer or hearing panel may make a determination to postpone the hearing, for a period not to exceed five (5) business days, or may make a determination that the party has waived his or her right to a hearing.
  2. The hearing officer or hearing panel shall notify both the complainant and the PHA of the determination.
  3. A determination that the complainant has waived his or her right to a hearing shall not constitute a waiver of any right the complainant may have to contest the PHA's disposition of the grievance in an appropriate judicial proceeding.
