RS 26:102: Procedure when permittee or applicant fails to appear at hearing; continuances

If a permittee or applicant who has been notified of a hearing does not appear, the hearing may proceed without him and the commissioner may consider and dispose of the case, but in all cases the commissioner, upon application or ex propria motu, may grant continuances from time to time. If the continuance be granted to a fixed future date by written consent or in the presence of the permittee, applicant, or his counsel, no further notice of the hearing date need be given. In all other cases the same notice of hearing as in original hearings shall be given.
