Mich. Admin. Code R. 432.614d - Sanctions and penalties
Rule 614d.
(1) The
hearing officer may recommend sanctions and penalties if the hearing officer
finds that a party has failed to appear at a scheduled hearing, has acted in
bad faith for the purpose of delay, or has otherwise abused the hearing
process. Sanctions and penalties include, but are not limited to, a fine or
default judgment or a directed finding on 1 or more issues.
(2) If a petitioner refuses to testify on his
or her own behalf with respect to any question propounded to him or her, then
the hearing officer may infer that the testimony or answer would have been
adverse to the case of the petitioner.
(3) If the petitioner or attorney of record
fails to answer a subpoena or refuses to testify fully at the request of the
board, then the failure may be considered independent grounds for a finding
that the petitioner should have been denied a license or the transfer of
ownership. The hearing officer may also infer from the failure to answer a
subpoena or refusal to testify fully that the testimony would have been adverse
to the petitioner.
