Law of Procedure before the Board of Grievances

Upon the lapse of the dates stipulated in the preceding articles of this Chapter, the department shall send the challenge petition to the competent circuit, and a judge from said circuit shall review the challenge and draft a response containing a summary of the grounds for challenge, response thereto, and the disputed issues, without expressing an opinion thereon, and he shall submit said report to the circuit. If the circuit decides that the challenge is invalid due to the lapse of the challenge date, or for being based on grounds other than those set forth in Article 11 of the Law of the Board of Grievances or grounds inconsistent with the principles established by the Supreme Administrative Court, the circuit shall dismiss the appeal pursuant to a decision recorded in the hearing minutes together with a brief providing reasoning of the decision. If the circuit decides that the challenge is valid, it shall set a hearing date for consideration of such challenge. In such case, the circuit may exclude from such challenge any inadmissible reasons before the Supreme Administrative Court and only consider the remaining reasons, together with a brief reference to the reasons for such exclusion.
