The board shall order oral argument where the factual or legal issues are sufficiently complex or unclear as to require oral argument. If ordered by the board, oral argument must be heard from each party or party's representative unless it is waived by that party.
Each party shall be limited to ten minutes, or additional time as the board orders where the factual or legal issues are sufficiently complex or unclear as to require additional time. The appellant shall appear first, followed by each party in order of appearance in the caption. The appellant may reserve a portion of the time allotted for rebuttal. When reserving time for rebuttal, the appellant must notify the board prior to the start of argument.
The executive secretary shall, at least ten days prior to the date set for oral argument, notify in writing all parties and the employer if the employer is not a party, of the date, hour, place, and time allotted to each party.
