Conclusory statements without supporting arguments shall be insufficient.(c) If an appeal document lacks sufficient specificity by way of relevant facts, information, and legal principles clearly supporting the appeal, the board, on its own or by the grant of a municipality motion, shall place the applicant in default. The board shall then order the applicant to amend the appeal within 10 days of the clerk's date on such order providing sufficient specificity. If the applicant fails to comply with such order, the board shall dismiss the appeal.(d) Throughout the appeal, the applicant shall be limited to the grounds stated in the appeal document and the limitations contained in RSA 677:4.(e) The statutory filing deadline with the board shall be akin to a statute of limitations. The board shall not have jurisdiction to accept an untimely filed appeal even if the applicant was prevented from timely filing because of accident, mistake, or misfortune.N.H. Admin.
