Minn. R. 1400.5600 - NOTICE AND ORDER FOR HEARING
A contested case is commenced, subsequent to the assignment of a judge, by the service of a notice of and order for hearing by the agency.
Unless otherwise provided by law, a notice of and order for hearing, which shall be a single document, shall be served upon all parties, shall be filed with the office and shall contain, among other things, the following:
Unless otherwise provided by law, the notice of and order for hearing shall be served and filed not less than 30 days prior to the hearing. Provided, however, that a shorter time may be allowed, where it can be shown to the chief judge that a shorter time is in the public interest and that interested persons are not likely to be prejudiced.
At any time prior to the start of the evidentiary hearing, the agency may file and serve an amended notice of and order for hearing, provided that, should the amended notice and order raise new issues or allegations, the parties shall have a reasonable time to prepare to meet the new issues or allegations if requested. Amendments sought after the start of the hearing must be approved by the judge.
With the prior written concurrence of the chief judge, an agency may substitute other documents and procedures for the notice of and order for hearing provided that the documents and procedures inform actual and potential parties of the information contained in subpart 2.
After receipt of a request for a hearing forwarded by the commissioner of the Department of Human Rights under Minnesota Statutes, section 363A.29, subdivision 2, and the assignment of a judge to the case, the judge shall prepare and issue a notice of and order for hearing. The notice shall incorporate the charge or charges filed by the charging party and shall state that an answer to the charges must be served and filed by the respondent within 20 days after service of the notice.
