Minn. R. agency 104, ch. 1420, pt. 1420.3700
Failure to comply with the order of a judge, or the willful failure to comply with the applicable provisions of this chapter or other applicable law, may subject a party or attorney to any of the following sanctions:
A motion to impose sanctions may be brought by a party under part 1420.2250 or upon the judge's own motion. An order for sanctions issued without a hearing is a summary decision under Minnesota Statutes, section 176.305, subdivision 1a.
The petitioner must notify the office and other parties of settlement or other resolution of a conference or hearing immediately following resolution of the case. If the petitioner fails to provide notice of resolution and does not appear, and a court reporter, interpreter, or security guard appears, or the office incurs an expense to reserve a facility with video equipment, the office may impose a sanction of $150 or the reasonable fee charged by the court reporter, interpreter, security guard, or video facility if the fee is more than $150. A party seeking cancellation of a proceeding must take reasonable steps to notify the other parties of a late settlement, rescheduling, or other cancellation of a proceeding. If the party seeking cancellation fails to take reasonable steps to notify the other parties and a party makes an appearance, the office may impose a reasonable sanction payable to the appearing party to cover the expense incurred by the appearing party.
