S.C. R. P. Admin. Law. Ct. 69
2014 Revised Notes
Rule 69 provides for situations in which the procedural statutes, regulations, or rules of the agency where the case arose differ from the ALC Rules. As provided in S.C. Code Ann. § 1-23-650(C), the Rule makes clear that the ALC Rules, rather than the rules of the agency, govern the proceedings once the Court acquires jurisdiction, and that any agency-specific procedural statutes, regulations or rules are inapplicable. Thus, questions of preliminary relief, content and form of prehearing statements, discovery and other procedural matters are resolved exclusively by the ALC Rules.
