OAR 438-085-0531: Correction of Defective Request for Hearing

If a request for hearing fails to specify the matters contested and the grounds for the request for hearing, or otherwise fails to substantially comply with the requirements of ORS 654.078 and OAR 438-085-0111, the Administrative Law Judge may, on the Administrative Law Judge’s own motion or upon motion of a party, order the requesting party to correct the defects by filing an amended request for hearing, or a supplement to the request for hearing, within such time as the Administrative Law Judge considers reasonable. If within the time permitted the requesting party fails to amend or supplement the request for hearing to conform with ORS 654.078 and OAR 438-085-0111, it may be dismissed by the Administrative Law Judge.
