A. When a party fails to attend or participate in a hearing pursuant to this Part, the Hearings Officer may issue an order of default disposing of the matter in favor of the opposing party.

B. Within seven (7) days of issuance of order of default, the party against whom the order has been issued may petition the Hearings Officer, in writing, to repeal the order of default and set a new date for hearing. Upon good cause shown by the defaulting party, and a finding by the Hearings Officer, on the record, that repeal of the order of default is required in the administration of justice, such repeal of the order of default may be granted and the hearing re-set. (Ord. M-3970 §2, 2010)
