Pennsylvania Code › Title 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS › Part II - General Rules of Administrative Practice and Procedure › Chapter 35 - FORMAL PROCEEDINGS › Subchapter A - PLEADINGS AND OTHER PRELIMINARY MATTERS › ANSWERS › Section 35.37 - Answers to orders to show cause

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
A person upon whom an order to show cause has been served
						under §
											35.14 (relating to orders to show
						cause) shall, if directed so to do, respond to the same by filing within the
						time specified in the order an answer in writing. The answer shall be drawn so
						as specifically to admit or deny the allegations or charges which may be made
						in the order, set forth the facts upon which respondent relies and state
						concisely the matters of law relied upon. Mere general denials of the
						allegations of an order to show cause which general denials are unsupported by
						specific facts upon which respondent relies, will not be considered as
						complying with this section and may be deemed a basis for entry of a final
						order without hearing, unless otherwise required by statute, on the ground that
						the response has raised no issues requiring a hearing or further proceedings. A
						respondent failing to file answer within the time allowed shall be deemed in
						default, and relevant facts stated in the order to show cause may be deemed
						admitted.
