§ 6-05 Pre-Hearing Requests to Reschedule.

RCNY § 6-05

The Petitioner or Respondent may request that a hearing be rescheduled to a later date. A request by a Respondent to reschedule must be received by the Tribunal prior to the time of the scheduled hearing. If a Petitioner requests to reschedule, the Petitioner must notify the Respondent at least three (3) days prior to the originally-scheduled hearing date and file proof of that notification with the Tribunal. Respondent may, on a form provided by the Tribunal, waive its right to such notice of the Petitioner's request to reschedule. If a Petitioner fails to provide such proof of notification or waiver, the request will be denied and the hearing will proceed as originally scheduled. Good cause is not necessary for a request to reschedule. No more than one (1) request to reschedule will be granted for each party for each summons.
