Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. R. 350-4-.22 - Consolidation and Severance
(1) When two or more providers appeal matters involving common
issues of law or fact, the appeals may be consolidated by the Department or by
the appointed Administrative Law Judge(s) and heard together if it appears that
a joint hearing would serve to expedite or simplify consideration of those
issues and that no party would be prejudiced thereby.
(2) In consolidated hearings, the Administrative Law Judge may
limit direct examination and cross-examination to matters which have not been
adequately covered by previous testimony or evidence.
(3) Whenever the Administrative Law Judge determines that it
would be more conducive to an expeditious, full, and fair hearing for any party
or issue to be heard in separate proceedings, he may in the exercise of his
discretion, upon motion of any party or sua sponte, sever the
party or issue for such separate hearing.
