§ 677. New hearings; when granted; procedure
The Commissioner may grant a new hearing in a cause determined by him or her on the
ground of newly discovered evidence when a petition, setting forth the substance of
such evidence, verified by the oath of the petitioner, is presented. His or her decision
in granting or denying such hearing shall be final and conclusive. If a party petitions
the Commissioner for a new hearing, he or she shall give the adverse party notice
of such petition by a citation signed by the Commissioner served like a summons at
least 12 days before the date of such hearing. A new hearing shall not be granted
on a petition unless the citation to the adverse party is served within six months
after the date of the order of the Commissioner.
