Section 13:4-5.1 - Applicability of default procedure

(a) If a respondent fails to timely respond to a verified complaint, interrogatories, and/or a request for information or documents, and the respondent has not filed a timely motion to dismiss the complaint pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:4-7.5, or timely motion to strike the request for information or documents, the Director may, at their discretion, initiate the default procedure set forth in this subchapter.

(b) In the event the respondent files a motion to strike the request for information or documents within the time set to answer such request, said motion shall be supported by affidavit and/or brief and shall be ruled upon by the Director on the motion papers without oral argument. If said motion is granted, the request for information or documents shall be stricken and if said motion is denied the Director shall then follow the default procedure set forth below or enter any other appropriate order. The filing of a motion to strike a request for information or documents shall toll the time for filing a response to such a request with the Division until such time as a decision on the motion is rendered.
