Section 455:10-21-3 - Representatives

A person who voluntarily selects a representative is bound by the acts and omissions of the representative; therefore, careful consideration should be given to the selection of a representative. Unless otherwise required by statute or the rules in this chapter, a representative need not be an attorney.

(1) A representative shall have knowledge of the appeal and shall be willing and available to serve. A representative shall have the authority to negotiate and approve settlement.

(2) A representative shall be identified in the petition for appeal or through an entry of appearance or other written means.

(3) A representative shall be subject to any Code of Conduct for Representatives adopted by the Commission.

(4) The Commissioners, Executive Director or presiding official may disqualify or release a representative for conflict of interest or any other good cause. A request shall be submitted as soon as the person making the request becomes aware of a reason that justifies the request.
