Section Hcp 207.17 - Continuances(a) Any party in a hearing may make an oral or written motion that a hearing be postponed to a later date or time.(b) If a continuance is requested by a party, it shall be granted if the presiding officer determines that good cause has been demonstrated. Good cause shall include the unavailability of any party, witness or attorney or other representative necessary to conduct the hearing, the likelihood that a hearing will not be necessary because the parties have reached a settlement or any other circumstances that demonstrate that a continuance would assist resolving the case fairly.(c) If the later date, time and place are known at the time of the hearing that is being postponed, the date, time and place shall be stated on the record. If the later date, time and place are not known at the time of the hearing that is being postponed, the presiding officer shall issue a written scheduling order stating the date, time and place of the postponed hearing as soon as practicable.N.H.
