If a party attending a conference convened under these rules refuses to admit or stipulate the genuineness of a document or the truth of a matter of fact and if the participant requesting the admissions or stipulations thereafter proves the genuineness of the document or the truth of the matter of fact, he may apply to the agency head or presiding officer for an order requiring the other party to pay him the reasonable expenses incurred in making such proof, including reasonable attorney's fees. Unless the agency head or presiding officer finds that there were good reasons for the refusal to admit or stipulate or that the admissions or stipulations sought were of no substantial importance, the order shall be made. An appeal may be taken to the agency head immediately from any such order made by a presiding officer. If a party refuses to comply with such order after it becomes final, the agency may strike all or any part of such pleadings of such party or limit or deny further participation by such party.
