Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 120-2-2-.21 - Consolidation or Severance of Adjudication
1.
Consolidation. The
Adjudicator may, upon a party's motion or on her/his own authority, with
reasonable notice and opportunity to object provided to all parties affected,
consolidate any or all matters at issue in two or more adjudications docketed
under these rules where common fact questions or applicable law exist and where
such consolidation would expedite or simplify consideration of the issues and
the interests of justice would be served. Consolidation must not prejudice any
rights under these rules and must not affect the right of any party to raise
issues that could have been raised if consolidation had not occurred. For
purposes of this rule, no distinction is made between joinder and consolidation
of adjudications.
2.
Severance. Unless the Department or Adjudicator orders otherwise,
the Adjudicator may by motion or on her/his own authority, for good cause
shown, order any adjudication severed with respect to some or all parties,
claims, and issues.
