12.2.9.2 Withdrawn or Abandoned Fact Finding Requests

The Fact Finder must deny a request for a Fact Finding Review or refuse to grant relief if the petitioner does any of the following:

Withdraws the request in writing; or

Abandons the request.

Abandonment occurs if neither the petitioner nor their representative appear at the scheduled Review without good cause. (See 11.3.1 for more information on good cause.) The petitioner has seven working days from the date of the scheduled Fact Finding Review appointment to provide good cause.
