Article 4 Hearings
§232.47. Contempt and Monetary Sanctions
(a) If any Person in proceedings before a Hearing Officer disobeys or resists
any lawful order or refuses, without substantial justification, to respond to
a subpoena, subpoena duces tecum, or refuses to take the oath or affirmation as
a witness or thereafter refuses to be examined or is guilty of misconduct during
a hearing or so near the place thereof as to obstruct the proceedings, or violates
the prohibition against ex parte communications under Rule 07 [Section 232.07]
above, the Hearing Officer may do any one or more of the following: (1) certify
the facts to the Superior Court in and for the county where the proceedings are
held for contempt proceedings pursuant to Government Code section 11455.20; (2)
exclude the Person from the hearing room; (3) prohibit the Person from testifying
or introducing certain matters in evidence; and/or (4) establish certain facts,
claims, or defenses if the Person in contempt is a Party.
(b) Either the Hearing Officer by separate order or the Administrator in his
or her decision may order a Party, the Party's authorized Representative, or
both, to pay reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred by another
Party as a result of bad faith actions or tactics that are frivolous or solely
intended to cause unnecessary delay as defined in section 128.5 of the Code
of Civil Procedure. Such order or the denial of such an order shall be subject
to judicial review in the same manner as a decision of the Administrator on
the merits. The order shall be enforceable in the same manner as a money judgment
or by the contempt sanction.
