The Forum will provide with a Notice of Hearing, a statement of information for all parties involved in a contested case hearing that includes: (1) Instructions on how to submit correspondence, documents and other filings to the Contested Case Coordinator; (2) The information required under ORS 183.413 concerning the rights of the parties to the hearing; (3) A statement that an order may be issued upon default if a party requesting a hearing fails to appear at the hearing and there is a prima facie case of unlawful practices or other violations; and (4) A statement that the party's address as it appears in the Contested Case Coordinator's and the Agency's files, and to which the Notice of Hearing has been sent, will be the address used throughout the proceeding. A party whose address changes must immediately notify the Contested Case Coordinator, with copies to all other participants; otherwise, the Contested Case Coordinator, the Forum, and the Agency will presume the address on file to be correct.
