Section 119.7 - Adjournment of hearings and scheduling of subsequent hearings

(a) In the absence of unforeseeable circumstances, a request for adjournment of the first date of any hearing must be submitted to the Bureau of Unclaimed Funds at least two business days or 48 hours, whichever is longer, prior to the scheduled date of such hearing.

(b) The adjournment of the initial hearing will be granted by the Bureau of Unclaimed Funds with the understanding that the claimant or the claimant's counsel, within 20 days after the adjournment, shall advise the Bureau of Unclaimed Funds of such date or dates convenient for the scheduling of a subsequent hearing. Failure to advise the Bureau of Unclaimed Funds of such date or dates will result in a hearing being scheduled by the Bureau of Unclaimed Funds without further consultation with the claimant or the claimant's counsel.

(c) Any request for an adjournment made during the course of a hearing shall be addressed to the hearing officer who shall have sole authority to grant or deny such request. If an adjournment is granted, the hearing officer shall schedule the date of resumption of the hearing upon consultation with the parties if the hearing officer so desires.
