OAR 863-001-0006: Hearing Notices and Postponements

(1) A notice of intent is properly served by the Real Estate Agency when delivered personally or deposited in the United States mail, registered or certified mail, addressed to the real estate licensee or to any other person having an interest in a proceeding before the Commissioner at the licensee’s or other person’s last known address of record with the Agency. All other notices are properly served by the Agency when delivered personally or deposited in the United States mail, regular mail, to the addressee’s last known address of record with the Agency. (2) The Commissioner or Agency may grant a postponement of a hearing at the request of a party to the hearing if: (a) The request is made not later than six business days prior to the date of the hearing. “Business days” are days on which the office of the Agency is regularly open for the transaction of business; and (b) The party has shown good cause in the request for not attending the hearing as scheduled. “Good cause” exists if the circumstances causing the request are beyond the reasonable control of the requesting party and the failure to grant the postponement would result in undue hardship to the requesting party.
