§ 711.22 - Nonappearance of applicant.

(a) Original hearing. If, at the time of the hearing, the applicant is absent and no appearance is made on his behalf, the review committee shall, after a lapse of such period of time as it may consider proper and reasonable, have the name of the absent applicant called in the hearing room. If, upon such call, there is no response, and no appearance on behalf of such applicant and no continuance has been requested by the applicant, the review committee shall thereupon close the hearing, as to such applicant, and, without further proceedings in the case, make a determination dismissing the application.

(b) Reopened or remanded hearing. If, at a hearing which is reopened pursuant to § 711.25 or remanded by a court, the applicant is absent and no appearance is made on his behalf, the review committee shall continue the hearing for a reasonable period of time and if the applicant does not appear at such continued hearing, the review committee shall make a determination.
